79. To ask the Taoiseach if he will be operating the Communicating Europe grant scheme in 2016; if so, when he expects the call for applications to be opened; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13426/16]

Funding provided by the Department of the Taoiseach for European engagement is expended on a number of elements. Generally this has included an amount which has been disbursed for the past number of years by way of a small grant scheme under the Communicating Europe Initiative.
The utility of this expenditure, including the small grant scheme is constantly under review and consideration is currently being given as to how this funding is best allocated in light of the wider demands on the European engagement budget.
