Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 June 2012
399 Deputy Eoghan Murphy asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht the funding that will be made available for the merged National Library and National Archives for this year, and if there was any decrease in the funding made available to both institutions last year. [28265/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe financial allocations (both current and capital) for the National Library and the National Archives for 2012 are as follows:
|
Institution |
Allocation 2012 |
Increase/Decrease on 2011 |
|
National Library of Ireland |
€7,120,00 |
-11.92% |
|
National Archives of Ireland |
€1,409,000* |
-3.36% |
The allocation outlined above for the National Archives does not include salary and administration costs. As staff in the National Archives are civil servants of my Department, such costs are met directly from my Department's Administration Budget.
With regard to the merging of the two institutions, I refer the Deputy to my reply to Questions Nos. 1, 3, 4 and 5 of 6 June 2012.
