I propose to take Questions Nos. 212 to 214, inclusive, together

The Exchequer Capital Investment Framework published in 2015 Building on Recovery Infrastructure and Capital Investment 2016-2021provides for a capital envelope for my Department in its then configuration of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht of €302 million. This envelope includes provision of €178 million on aggregate for the Arts, Culture and Film Programme area of my Department over the duration of the plan.

This provision includes the dedicated funding for the wide ranging Ireland 2016 capital programme as well as capital infrastructure funding for the National Cultural Institutions and regional arts and cultural centres.

2016 was the first year of the 5 year framework covered by the capital plan and the provisional capital outturn for the Arts, Culture and Film programme area is €35 million.
