Four agencies are funded by the Exchequer through my Department's Vote: the Adoption Authority of Ireland; the Family Support Agency; the National Educational Welfare Board; and the Ombudsman for Children’s Office. I have set out in tabular format the amount being budgeted for by the State agencies under the remit of my Department for the current year. I am not in a position to furnish the Deputy with details in relation to the Adoption Authority of Ireland at the present time. I have asked the authority to write to the Deputy with the information required. It should be noted that the agencies do not generally use the particular headings to which the Deputy refers, but I have set out the details in the table as definitively as possible.
