The funding provided by my Department to Foras na Gaeilge over the period 2010-2016, along with the allocation for this year is set out in the Revised Estimates Volume 2017, relates to current expenditure only and is set out in the following table:

Year
2010 15,458,996
2011 15,016,140
2012 14,563,603
2013 13,690,340
2014 12,711,090
2015 12,614,150
2016 12,527,548

This funding comprises the Department's share of the budget approved by the North/South Ministerial Council, ringfenced funding for Clár na Leabhar Gaeilge and Colmcille in addition to one-off unmatched funding in 2016 and 2017.
