While there are 12 State Bodies/Agencies under the aegis of my Department, it does not provide funding for all of them. The bodies that do not receive funding from my Department are Coillte Teoranta and the Irish National Stud Company which are both commercial bodies and the Veterinary Council of Ireland and National Milk Agency which are funded by means of registration fees or a statutory levy.
The table lists out the remaining State Bodies/Agencies and the amount of funding provided since 2007.
