As my Department was established on 1 June 2011, the information requested by the Deputy is provided in respect of the years 2011 to 2014, inclusive. Waterways Ireland is co-funded by my Department and the Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure (DCAL) in Northern Ireland. The current expenditure of the body is funded 85% by my Department and 15% by DCAL, which reflects the distribution of the navigable waterways in each jurisdiction. Capital expenditure is funded 100% in the jurisdiction in which the capital works are carried out.

The amount of funding allocated to Waterways Ireland from my Department's Vote for each of the years from 2011 to 2014 is set out in table.
