Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

It is a good question. I am pleased to say it has not. The Deputy is quite right that when you look at the figures, that is exactly what you see. She is correct in what she said, but there is an answer. An extra €4.3 million was spent in one year versus the others. It was a once-off allocation to hire a chair of Irish studies at Cambridge university. I assure the Deputy the level of funding is consistent, but we topped it up, if you like, last year for the Cambridge appointment.
