The total revenue given to Food Safety Promotion Board in 2011 was €8.5m. This was made up of a grant of €5.95m from my Department with the remainder allocated from the Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety in Northern Ireland. This was down 10.8% on their 2010 budget, a reduction achieved through efficiency savings. It is expected that our grant to Food Safety Promotion Board this year will amount to €5.95m.
