As the Deputy is aware, these organisations are funded out of the overall current allocation available to my Department for the offshore islands. As announced in Budget 2016, the current allocation for the islands in 2016 is €6.631m, subject to the Estimates being approved in due course. It is intended that the same allocation will be made available for these organisations in 2016 as was available to them in 2015.
