Mr. Gearóid Breathnach:

That is a fair point, but one must look at the figures received in subventions and the numbers attending in the years leading up to that period. In 2010 a subvention of €145,000 was received from Pobal. It was €135,000 the year before and €100,000 the year before that. The figure eventually certified as being due to Muintearas Teo. for the year 2010-2011 was, therefore, far lower than that for the previous five years. It is difficult to understand why the subvention for that year should be so low compared to that in previous years.
