Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

That was a once-off grant to support the Science Olympiad project held in Trinity College Dublin in 2005. It was an international conference that brought together an enormous number of scientists. As there was no suitable subhead, it was to assist in giving the project a grant. It will not occur again.

On the commemorative initiatives, these are the usual annual commemoration grants given for the 400 year celebration of particular events and the like. However, I am not sure which ones were given grants.
