Vote 33 - Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (Revised) (1 Dec 2016) Heather Humphreys: No underspend is anticipated. The funding that was in the Leader programme has all gone back into rural Ireland and any funding we anticipated was not going to be spent there was put into programmes such as the REDZ schemes, town and village regeneration and CLÁR. Expenditure is closely monitored and will continue to be as we head towards the end of the year. There are a number of...

- Select Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Estimates for Public Services 2016
Vote 33 - Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (Revised) (1 Dec 2016) Heather Humphreys: The Deputy will appreciate that I have had to do 12 months work in seven months, because it took some time for the Department to be formed. When the functions were transferred to my Department we started to roll out the Leader programme immediately. It is something about which I am very conscious. The €13.5 million is the maximum I can carry over. If it is less, I cannot give the...

Vote 33 - Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (Revised) (1 Dec 2016) Heather Humphreys: Much of the funding will be spent in rural areas but a great deal of what is being carried over is in the arts area. I have been very conscious of all the money for rural Ireland being spent there. The majority of the money is in the arts area. With big capital projects there sometimes are delays. In many cases one is dealing with sensitive heritage buildings and issues can arise that...

Vote 33 - Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (Revised) (1 Dec 2016) Heather Humphreys: With regard to funding, the Leader programme this time is smaller than the previous programme because the funding for the rural development programme was much less than in the last programme. To be clear, the west Cork LCDC was selected by an independent selection committee. I have no input into that, and the decision was upheld, upon appeal, that west Cork LCDC would roll out the Leader...

The Department has asked that the discussions are concluded by Friday, 16...

Vote 33 - Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (Revised) (1 Dec 2016) Heather Humphreys: There has been no indication of the legal costs. The legal cost of the High Court case has not crystalised. The case is under appeal. The apportionment of costs is a matter for the courts. In the ordinary course of events costs of cases involving the State where costs are awarded again are charged, in the first instance, against the Vote of the Chief State Solicitor's Office who in turn...

Vote 33 - Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (Revised) (1 Dec 2016) Heather Humphreys: To be clear, we did not enter into this court case. We did not take a court case. We defended a court case and we had to do so. I decided that it was in the public's interest to defend the court case. The National Museum already has two letters written by Pearse that are historically important and the National Library has one copy. The National Museum has a surrender document that was...
