Amharc ar fhreagraThe State bodies/agencies currently funded from my Department's Vote Group are listed in the table below. It should be noted that Waterways Ireland and An Foras Teanga (comprising Foras na Gaeilge and the Ulster-Scots Agency) are North-South Implementation Bodies and are subject to dual arrangements in relation to funding.
Details of the expenditure allocations made available to the bodies in question are published each year in the annual REV and the Appropriation Account. The REV also includes Agency Statements, which provide details in relation to expenditure on administration and pay in the previous year. These publications are available on the website of Department of Public Expenditure and Reform at www.per.gov.ie and on the website of the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General at www.audgen.gov.ie. For ease of reference, Departmental allocations at subhead level are available at the following link http://per.gov.ie/estpubexp2012 .
