The provision of current funding for Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann is a matter for the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs. No provision was made in my Department's 2009 Abridged Estimates Volume for Capital programme for Comhaltas. However, the question of funding for Comhaltas being provided in my Department's Revised Estimates Volume for 2009 is being finalised in discussions with the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs.
