389. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the amount of funding allocated to Bord Bia, Bord Iascaigh Mhara, Teagasc and the Marine Institute by capital and current allocations in each of the years 2014 to 2017 and to date in 2018. [19951/18]

The allocations voted to the bodies listed are set out in the following tables. As allocations are voted for the calendar year the information for 2018 is in respect of the full year rather than year to date.

In addition to the allocations voted to Teagasc and Bord Bia, those bodies receive additional funding from my Department in respect of other specific programmes they administer. Teagasc also receives payments in respect of the provision of certain services.

Teagasc

When my department's vote structure was amended in 2017, the Teagasc subhead was changed to include directly an amount of €10.5m for training which it received under a separate sub head before 2017.
