Deputy Maurice Quinlivan asked the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht the businesses that received grants in excess of €100,000 in 2018; the location of the company; the grant amount awarded, in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [1796/19]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 1230 and 1231 together.
As the Deputy will appreciate my Department operates a wide range of funding schemes across all areas of the Departments' remit.
In view of this and because of the wide range of my Department’s schemes and programmes, and the large volumes of payments and grants involved, it is not possible to provide the information sought in the format requested by the Deputy. However, if the Deputy has specific queries relating to a particular programme or grant, I will arrange to provide him with relevant information in that regard.
Details of funding allocations and awards are published on my Department's website at www.chg.gov.ie from time to time. In common with all Government Departments, details of annual expenditure are also included in the annual Appropriation Accounts.
For the Deputy's convenience a summary of the various funding areas and the links to detailed information in respect of funding available from my Department is set out in the following table.
