The Table below sets out the funding allocated to each of the Agencies under the Aegis of my Department between 2006 and 2010. The allocations shown include exchequer funding and National Training Fund (NTF) monies, where appropriate.

While the table shows Exchequer funding and NTF, some of the Agencies receive funding from other sources such as fees , property rental, grant refunds, and from other Departments or bodies. Funding from these sources is not included in the table.

On 1st May 2010, responsibility for FÁS and for the NTF was transferred to the Minister for Education and Skills. However, the full 2010 allocation for FÁS and for bodies under my remit that are funded from the NTF are provided for the Deputy's information.

The Employment Subsidy Scheme was introduced in 2009 and is managed by Enterprise Ireland. The 2010 REV allocation for the agency includes an allocation of €114.5 million for the scheme.
