62. Deputy Catherine Connolly asked the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht the breakdown of sponsorship raised by Galway 2020 to date; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [1762/19]
Amharc ar fhreagraIt is my understanding that Galway 2020 commenced with the full rollout of the partnership programme from the beginning of this month. Sponsorship has commenced with the receipt of approximately €29,000.
The funding raised through the partnership programme will be in addition to other streams of funding to Galway 2020. This includes €15m from my Department which, together with existing commitments from Galway City and County Councils, amounts to €23m.
