Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department's cultural infrastructure and development capital allocation for arts-related projects in 2011 was already fully committed to existing projects, prior to the receipt of the application mentioned in the Deputy's Question. In this regard, it may be noted that my Department's cultural infrastructure and development capital allocation fell by over 50% in 2011, compared to the allocation for 2010.
