A total allocation of €34.33 million is being provided for Údarás na Gaeltachta by my Department for 2005. This represents an increase of 3.4% on the figure for 2004. Údarás na Gaeltachta also has other sources of income. I am satisfied that Údarás na Gaeltachta has sufficient funds to carry out its development programme.

The 2006 Estimates for my Department's Vote have not yet been finalised.
