I propose to take Questions Nos. 410 and 411 together.

Details of funding for the period in question from my Department to organisations under its aegis are set out in the table. In addition, subscriptions are also paid to a number of organisations operating in the sectoral areas for which my Department has responsibility. The annual total of these subscriptions is also set out in the table.

As part of the 2011 Comprehensive Review of Expenditure, my Department identified appropriate savings to be made in these areas over the coming years.
