Mr. Paul Shovlin:

In 2015 there was an interim increase of €600,000. My understanding is that the increase is being held, so basically it is the funding for 2015 as well as the €600,000 but no increase beyond that. We are, nevertheless, appreciative of the pressures the Government and the Department have been under and we are relieved that the €600,000 has been held. It was a supplementary amount that we received earlier just to ensure that the National Library could function properly, so we have held that. However, we must move on from here.
