1 The figures provided in respect of Bord na gCon relate to a borrowings limit.
2 Fáilte Ireland does not have sanctioned overdraft, borrowing or other debt facilities. The figures provided relate both to the five Regional Tourism Authorities which merged with Fáilte Ireland on 1 July 2006 and to Dublin Tourism which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fáilte Ireland in April 2007. The 2006 figure relates to a payment made to pay off loans and overdrafts. The 2007 and 2008 figures relate to mortgages on property purchased by Dublin Tourism which Fáilte Ireland proposes to pay off by the end of 2009.
3 The figures provided in respect of Horse Racing Ireland relate to a borrowings limit.
