I propose to take Questions Nos. 151, 152 and 155 together.
My Department is providing a total of €4,811,000 of Exchequer Funding for the Heritage Council in 2012, together with €1,500,000 from my Department's share of the Environment Fund. The Deputy will appreciate that, as a statutorily independent body, the management of resources made available to the Heritage Council by my Department is a matter for the Council itself.
