The funding that is committed to the Equality Authority in 2009 is as it stands in the 2009 Estimates for Public Services published on 14 October 2008.

As the Deputy may be aware, the Authority is already providing services from Roscrea under the first phase of its decentralisation programme which is ongoing.

I am glad to report that two recent vacancies on the Board of the Authority have been filled by me following nominations made by IBEC.
