| Of which: Horse Racing Ireland | 59,200 | 64,000 |
| Bord na gCon | 14,800 | 16,000 |
In addition to the agencies mentioned specifically by the Deputy, the table includes the agencies funded through the exchequer allocation to the Horse & Greyhound Racing Fund i.e. Horse Racing Ireland and Bord na gCon.
As part of the 2017 Supplementary Estimate currently before the Dail, an amount of €6.6m is proposed to be added to the 2017 Revised Estimates Volume (REV) allocation for Bord Bia. The National Milk Agency is not in receipt of any funding from my Department.
The individual allocations for 2018 will be set out in the Revised Estimates Volume (REV) to be published later this year.
