Dick Roche (Wicklow, Fianna Fail)

Last year, the greatest allocation was for the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum. The Deputy has been given a full list of the allocations in tabular form. The second highest allocation, $500,000, was to San Francisco GAA. Some $250,000 was allocated to the American Irish Historical Society. Various grants were given, including grants as low as $25,000. The largest allocation so far this year, $350,000, was to the Irish Cultural Centre in New England. The allocations range from this sum down to approximately $10,000. There is a very wide scale and it is part of the ongoing audit in the Department.
