As the Deputy is no doubt aware the Gaeltacht Housing Grant Schemes have been suspended for some time now and that others listed by him have been subsumed into schemes currently operated by my Department. An Comhairle um Oideachas Gaeltachta agus Gaelscolaíochta (COGG) is funded from the Department of Education and Skills' Vote.
In the interest of accuracy, the following table details the Revised Estimates Volume 2009, which is the last estimate to include the schemes listed by the Deputy, with the exception of COGG, before they were either suspended or subsumed into other schemes.
