Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 12 November 2015
30. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht the financial provision made in the 2016 Estimates for the funding of the five development companies on non-Gaeltacht islands; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [39552/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy is aware, these organisations are funded out of the overall current allocation available to my Department for the offshore islands. As announced in Budget 2016, the current allocation for the islands in 2016 is €6.631m, subject to the Estimates being approved in due course. It is intended that the same allocation will be made available for these organisations in 2016 as was available to them in 2015.
