214. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media the extent to which particular emphasis is being placed on business tourism or international conferences here with a view to maximising employment in the sector; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [46004/23]
View answerAs the Deputy is aware, my Department's role in relation to tourism lies primarily in the area of national tourism policy and implementation of that policy is a matter for the tourism agencies, Fáilte Ireland and Tourism Ireland, as well as certain other bodies.
With regards to the particular matter of identifying opportunities for business tourism/international conferences with a view to maximising employment in the sector, this is an operational matter for both Tourism Ireland and Fáilte Ireland through the “Meet in Ireland” business tourism brand for the island of Ireland.
I have referred the Deputy's question to both Fáilte Ireland and Tourism Ireland and asked them to reply directly to the Deputy with further information on this matter. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
215. Deputy Bernard J.

View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 215 and 222 together.
I recognise both the importance of sport and physical activity for the health and well-being of our society and the need to support the sporting sector, thereby ensuring that opportunities are in place to allow all members of society to participate in sport. Last week we announced an overall 2024 budget allocation of €183.3 million for sport. That is an increase of €8 million (4.6%) compared to this year.
The resources we have secured for sport next year will allow Sport Ireland to continue to support the sport sector, which is still recovering from the challenges of Covid-19 and, like all sectors, continues to face difficulties around rising energy costs and general cost of living increases.
With regard to capital assistance, the Sports Capital and Equipment Programme (SCEP) is the primary vehicle for Government support for the development of sports and recreation facilities and the purchase of non-personal sports equipment throughout the country. Over 13,000 projects have now benefited from sports capital funding since 1998, bringing the total allocations in that time to over €1.15 billion. The Programme for Government commits to continuing the SCEP and to prioritising the investment in disadvantaged areas.
The 2023 round of the SCEP closed for applications on Friday 8 September. Work is now underway on finalising the "Scoring Assessment and Assessment Manual" for the 2023 round and I hope to have this published in the coming weeks. Once published, the detailed assessment work can commence. In this regard, it is planned to assess the "Equipment-only" applications first with a view to announcing these grants in the coming months. Work will then commence on the assessment of the capital applications with the allocations likely to be announced later in 2024. Once all allocations are finalised, an announcement will be made in relation to the next call for proposals.
In addition to the SCEP, the National Sports Policy which was published in 2018 provided for a new Large Scale Sport Infrastructure Fund (LSSIF). The aim of the fund is to provide Exchequer support for larger sports projects and facilities where the required Exchequer investment is greater than the maximum amount available under the SCEP. To date, approximately €86.4 million has been awarded to 33 different proposals.
The first LSSIF allocations were announced just prior to the arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic. The pandemic obviously gave rise to significant financial challenges for all grantees with many of them having to reprioritise their own expenditure plans due to reductions in their income streams. In more recent times, the high level of construction inflation has also presented considerable challenges for grantees.
In view of these issues, it was considered timely to review progress on all projects allocated grants and meetings with all grantees have taken place. It is encouraging that, based on these discussions with grantees, it is estimated that a majority of the 33 projects should be in a position to draw down funding in the next 12 months. Furthermore, projects such as the new athletics hub in Newcastle West, the linear walkway element of the project in Dunboyne and phase one of the Walsh Park development in Waterford are now complete. While this progress is very welcome, these discussions also confirmed that some projects in receipt of LSSIF grants may not proceed in the short to medium term.
Following engagement with the Minister for Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform, and in recognition of the challenges faced by some grantees, officials in my Department wrote to all LSSIF grantees inviting them to apply for additional support by 4 August 2023. To be considered for additional funding, grantees were advised that the key elements of the project should remain as set out in the original LSSIF application and that priority will be given to applicants who provide evidence-based documentation to support their application. Further clarification was sought from some grantees but all of this information has now been received. Accordingly, I hope to be in a position to announce further allocations to grantees in due course with a view to ensuring that all existing LSSIF projects can be completed.
With regard to a possible new round of the LSSIF, I am determined to see continued investment in sports facilities in order to ensure we achieve our ambitious targets for sports participation. Accordingly, I will continue to engage with the Minister for Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform in relation to the funding required to underpin any new round.
In relation to both the SCEP and the LSSIF my Department continues to support and guide existing grantees as they manage their grants. This requires detailed engagement with all grantees and, where necessary, requests for extensions and changes of purpose of grants can usually be accommodated. Furthermore, my Department is always happy to advise organisations who are considering submitting a future application under either scheme.
216. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media the extent to which she and her Department continue to promote the Irish language and culture in Gaeltacht areas throughout the country; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [46006/23]
View answerIn the context of my Department’s role in coordinating the implementation of the Government’s Action Plan for the Irish Language (Plean Gníomhaíochta 2018-2022), the fourth annual progress report on its ongoing implementation on behalf of Government will be published in November 2023.
The plan itself was first published in 2018 in order to accelerate and better co-ordinate implementation of the Government’s overarching 20-Year Strategy for the Irish Language 2010-2030 which represents Government policy in relation the Irish Language and Gaeltacht regions.
Key achievements in 2021, as reported in the third annual report included:
• the signing of the Official Languages (Amendment) Act 2021 into law on 22 December 2021.
• by the end of 2021 a total of 32 language plans were approved for 25 Gaeltacht Language Planning Areas, 4 Gaeltacht Service Towns and 3 Irish Language Networks (7 of which were approved in 2021).
• 19 Language Planning Officers and 4 Assistant Language Planning Officers were employed under the process by the end of December 2021.
• in 2021, 2,323 Gaeltacht children benefited from events organised by Tuismitheoirí na Gaeltachta with the support of my department.
• there were 55 active groups within Glór na nGael's Teanga Tí Scheme during 2021.
• capital funding at a rate of 95% was provided for 6 early-years services in the Gaeltacht under the Department's Clár Tacaíochtaí Pobail agus Teanga.
• the derogation of the use of Irish in the EU ended on 31 December 2021. Around 200 people are now employed in high-quality jobs in Irish language units in EU institutions as a result.
• 825 new full-time jobs were created in Údarás na Gaeltachta client-companies in 2021.
• there were 7,809 full-time jobs and 485 part-time jobs in companies that received support from Údarás at the end of 2021.
• the Board of Údarás na Gaeltachta approved State investment of €8.07 million in employment, plant, training and education grants during 2021.
• up to €13.75 million in capital provision was approved during 2021 to restore and develop the business infrastructure of the Gaeltacht to help develop employment and new initiatives. A full overview of progress made and in hand is set out in the report itself which can be found on my Department's website.
This fourth report, scheduled for publication in November, will provide an overview of the progress made in 2022 on the implementation of the 180 or so actions contained in the plan itself and its publication is in line with the commitment made to publish such reports on an annual basis in the interests of accountability and transparency.
I am confident that the additional financial allocation for the Irish language announced in Budget 2024 will enable my Department and relevant stakeholders to take further significant strides in advancing implementation of the plan and continue to support and develop greater use of the Irish language both within Gaeltacht regions and nationally.
217. Deputy Bernard J.

View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 217 to 220, inclusive, together.
With the aim of ensuring that Ireland is an attractive base for film location, encouraging all forms of the arts and cultural projects at local and national level and generally maximising culture as a means of promoting business and boosting the economy, I provided the following in Budget 2024
• Record funding of €134m for the Arts Council to build on recent successes in the sector
• The highest level of funding for Culture Ireland since its establishment to support more Irish artists to launch and develop their careers on an international stage.
• A new pilot capital support scheme for Arts, Culture and the Night Time Economy to continue the development of vibrant late night arts and culture scenes in Irish cities, towns and villages as well as additional capital to assist in the provision of building and equipment needs, artists workspaces, and adapting facilities to reduce energy needs and carbon footprints
• Increased funding of €1.5m to Screen Ireland to support the audiovisual industry to build and expand capacity across the country, to deliver on strategic objectives, to take account of inflation on the value of supports, provide Sustainability Funding and Audience Development initiatives, as well as providing a targeted international marketing campaign to highlight the improvements to Section 481 announced by the Minister for Finance
• In conjunction with Minister McGrath, changes to Section 481 tax relief to further enhance Ireland’s attractiveness as a location for major international film and television projects, building on the remarkable success of “The Banshees of Inisherin” and “An Cailín Ciúin”. In particular the increase in the cap to €125m will restore Ireland’s ability to attract high-value, internationally mobile audio-visual projects that will generate significant employment and skills development opportunities for Irish crew
• Basic Income for the Arts is funded for the second of three years of the pilot. Research will be published shortly setting out the impact on the lives of participants to date
• Increased funding for the Safe to Create Programme that supports all artists and creatives that will allow Minding Creative Minds to provide new dedicated HR, Mediation, Legal & Financial advice to the creative sector, creative therapies, dedicated mentoring & career services as well as an information campaign on its serious trauma counselling service.
• Further support for Creative Ireland, to implement projects under the expanded Creative Climate Action Fund will underpin the Department’s commitment to building for a better future through supporting participation in creative cultural activity
• Additional support for Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann
• In conjunction with Minister McGrath, our National Cultural Institutions and other approved bodies will benefit from an increase in the tax relief on donations further incentivises donation to strengthen our national collections. The cap on the relief under the scheme will increase from €6m to €8m next year
• Increased funding for our National Cultural Institutions for programme, learning and outreach activities
All of these measures are aimed at benefitting the arts, culture & creative sectors in Kildare and in every county and region of the State.
221. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media the degree to which she continues to ensure the continued growth and viability of all portfolios under her aegis with obvious benefit for tourism, culture, arts, sport and media; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [46011/23]
View answerThe information sought is set out below in respect of each sectoral area of my Department.
Culture
Arts, Film & Investment
My Department’s Arts and Culture programme aims to promote and develop Ireland’s world class artistic and creative strengths at home and abroad, maximising their societal and economic value for the country, and supporting the Arts and entertainment sectors to develop and grow.
I am satisfied that the overall increased gross funding allocated to Arts and Culture in Budget 2024 will support both new and existing funding streams and initiatives. There has been sustained investment in Arts and Culture in recent years and I was very pleased that I secured this level funding for this important sector in 2024.
National Cultural Institutions (NCIs)
I am committed to enhancing access to and engagement with culture and creativity for the benefit of society through various channels, including through our National Cultural Institutions (NCIs). My Department supports the NCIs through annual funding in support of their operations and programming, and by ensuring that their work is supported by a robust legislative and corporate governance underpinning.
My Department is working with the NCIs and the OPW to deliver an ambitious capital investment programme that will redevelop and futureproof our institutions for generations to come. My Department also provides guidance and support to the sector through the provision of an overarching cultural policy framework.
Culture Ireland
The €1m increase in funding for Culture Ireland in Budget 2024, to €7.6m, will ensure that Culture Ireland can continue to promote Irish arts worldwide and to create opportunities and support the international careers of Irish artists. Culture Ireland operates a regular grant scheme to support Irish artists, generating jobs and creating new audiences for Irish arts, enhancing Ireland's reputation. Culture Ireland will continue to expand its schedule of international showcase activity in 2024, reaching 30 separate events in 2024.
Additionally, Culture Ireland will present a yearlong season of Irish arts in Germany throughout 2024 which will be presented in association with the Embassy of Ireland in Germany.
Night-Time Economy
The recommendations of the Report of the Night-Time Economy Taskforce, which was published in September 2021, aim to support the overall economic growth of our cities and towns by providing employment opportunities, boosting tourism, and encouraging cultural development. We will continue to provide funding in 2024 to develop new opportunities within the Night-Time Economy in support of the Report’s recommendations.
Basic Income for the Arts
The Basic Income for the Arts scheme is a three-year pilot that was the number one recommendation of the Arts and Culture Recovery Taskforce, which I established in 2020 to examine ways in which to help the arts recover post pandemic. I am very pleased to have been able to deliver on this recommendation.
The scheme has been firmly established as a research project so that an evidence base can be developed around the impact of the payment which will inform future Government policy in relation to how Ireland supports her artists.
2,000 recipients were selected in 2022 to receive payment of €325 per week. The pilot scheme is funded €35m per year and will continue in 2024.
Creative Ireland
I am pleased that funding of €10.5 million provided to the Creative Ireland Programme in 2023 will be maintained in 2024 with an ambition to inspire and transform people, places and communities through creativity. Under the Shared Island Initiative, a further €525,000 will be allocated to the Creative Ireland Programme, bringing the total allocation to €2.9 million in 2024. Furthermore, I will provide an additional €250,000 to support the expanded Creative Climate Action Fund that I announced in July 2023.
Gaeltacht
Official Languages (Amendment) Act 2021
An additional €0.5m was allocated in Budget 2024 to ensure the full and successful implementation of the Official Languages Acts 2003 to 2021.
The statutory Irish Language Services Advisory Committee was established under the Act in June 2022. The Committee’s work will primarily be focused on the development of the first National Plan for Irish-medium Public Services for the first two years. With this Plan, particular regard will be paid to achieving the ambitious recruitment target of 20% of recruits to the public service being competent in Irish by the end of 2030. A specific commitment is contained in the Civil Service Renewal 2030 strategy to implement this Plan.
Through the funding secured by my Department for next year, new initiatives will be funded, and existing measures expanded. These include the establishment of an Irish language Network, the development of a suite of supports for public bodies in relation to the implementation of the Act and the raising of awareness around the Act in general.
Irish Language Support Schemes (Capital)
An additional €0.5m was allocated in Budget 2024 for the Capital Programme of the Irish Language Support Schemes.
Community-based committees/organisations that operate through Irish outside the Gaeltacht may make an application under the Department’s Irish Language Support Schemes. The purpose of the capital assistance that is provided under this fund is the strengthening Irish as a community and family language in accordance with the objectives of the Gaeltacht Act 2012 and the 20 Year Strategy for Irish 2010-2030. This additional funding brings the total allocation for 2024 to €4m.
Broadcasting and Media
A key recommendation from the Future of Media Commission’s report is a new regulator to underpin an enhanced regulatory and developmental framework, which is key to supporting the future development of the media sector. This new regulator – Coimisiún na Meán – was established earlier this year under the provisions of the Online Safety and Media Regulation Act, 2022. I secured funding of €7.5m to support this work in 2023.
As the Deputy will be aware, the main source of direct support to the media sector is provided through the Broadcasting Fund, in particular the Sound and Vision Scheme, which is administered by An Coimisiún. Since taking office, I have secured significant additional resources for the Scheme amounting to €22.5 million. This has enabled increased investment in the sector and allowed targeted funding rounds for Climate Action and Climate Change, the live music sector, and Irish language content. The recommendations in the Future of Media Commission Report included the conversion of the Broadcasting Fund into a Media Fund to provide funding to the wider media sector. In Budget 2024, €6m was secured to support the Media Fund, which provides funding on a platform-neutral basis to the wider media sector, on an administrative basis. The priority of the Fund is the establishment of a Local Democracy Reporting Scheme and a Courts Reporting Scheme, both of which will benefit the local and regional media outlets in particular.
In addition to increased levels of funding for Sound and Vision, the Government provided interim funding as recommended by the Commission to RTÉ, and I have also provided significant increased funding to TG4, securing an increase of €4.8m for 2024 which brings to €19.8 million the total additional funding provided to TG4 since I became Minister.
Sport
In relation to sport, the further growth and viability of this important sector is being driven and guided by the National Sports Policy 2018-2027 (NSP). Implementation of the NSP continues to proceed satisfactorily and I am pleased to inform the Deputy that, half way through the 10-year lifespan of the policy, some 80% of its 57 actions have either been completed already or are well on the way to completion.
I was pleased to announce an increased budget allocation of €183.3 million for sport in Budget 2024. This will allow Sport Ireland to continue to support the sport sector, which is still recovering from the challenges of Covid-19 and continues to face challenges around rising energy costs and costs of living, similar to all other sectors.
Sports Capital
My Department provides capital support through the Sports Capital and Equipment Programme (SCEP) and the Large Scale Sport Infrastructure Fund (LSSIF).
The SCEP is the primary vehicle for Government support for the development of sports and recreation facilities and the purchase of non-personal sports equipment throughout the country. The 2023 round of the Programme closed on 8 September and it is expected that allocations to successful applicants will be announced next year. A preliminary examination of the submitted applications is underway but it is clear that the Programme has again generated a very large number of applications and it is likely that the total number will exceed the previous record of applications submitted under the 2020 round.
The first call for proposals under the LSSIF closed in 2019. Thus far, approximately €86.4 million has been awarded to 33 different proposals. With regard to a possible new round of the LSSIF, I am determined to see continued investment in sports facilities in order to ensure we achieve our ambitious targets for sports participation. I will continue to engage with the Department of Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform, in relation to the additional funding required. Once these discussions are concluded, I will provide an update in respect of any new round of the LSSIF.
Major Sports Events
My Department continues to support the hosting of Major Sports Events in Ireland and to explore further hosting opportunities. This is evidenced by the Government’s support for events such as the US College Football classics every August from 2022 – 2026, the Ryder Cup in 2027 in Limerick and the EURO 2028 football championships, which UEFA announced last week will be held in Ireland and the UK. In line with the commitment in the Programme for Government, a high level policy paper has been drafted and is currently being finalised. The policy will help to inform which events we will target in the future.
Tourism
Fáilte Ireland’s tourism barometer strategic research and insight findings from September this year indicate a better year in terms of visitor levels when compared to 2022. Looking ahead, Tourism Ireland will roll out an extensive, highly targeted programme of promotions around the world over the coming months. It will highlight the many reasons to visit the island of Ireland during autumn and winter.
A key high level objective of my Department is investment in tourism marketing. Sustaining investment in marketing campaigns aims to ensure that Ireland’s offering as a tourism destination remains strongly visible in an increasingly competitive marketplace. My Department continues to support Fáilte Ireland in its work on tourism product development by the sustained provision of exchequer funding. This supports a wide variety of development across the regions.
I am also progressing the development of a new national tourism policy that will seek to mainstream sustainability – environmental, economic and societal – across the entire sector. I hope to have this policy finalised by the end of 2023. The new tourism policy will seek to establish Ireland as a leading tourism destination, excelling in sustainable development practices that deliver better economic, social and environmental outcomes for all.
223. Deputy Jim O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage to provide a breakdown of Vote 34 in budget 2024 providing the total capital and current expenditure for each individual programme within heads A, B, C, D, E and F; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [45887/23]
View answerThe Total Gross allocation for Vote 34 in 2024 is €6,845m. This is made up of €2,966m Current and €3,879m Capital. The breakdown of Gross allocations by Programme and subhead is provided in the table appended to this reply.
Reflecting the priority placed on Housing for All, the Government’s national housing strategy, there will be record €5bn Capital investment in housing in 2024 - comprising €2.6bn Exchequer, €978m Land Development Agency (LDA) and €1.5bn Housing Finance Agency (HFA) funding. Current and Capital allocations in 2024 will be further supplemented through additional funding of €151m for housing purposes provided by certain local authorities from Local Property Tax (LPT) receipts.
Furthermore additional National Development Plan Capital funding of €250m for 2024 will be distributed in the coming months further increasing the allocation to Vote 34.
In addition to Vote 34 the LDA and HFA are crucial to our Housing for All plans and I will be seeking Cabinet approval in the coming weeks to capitalise the LDA in the order of €6bn and increase the HFA borrowing limit from €10bn to €12bn as part of Ireland’s long term housing investment plans.
