The Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science was formed in summer 2020. Since formation, the Department has not made any payments to An Taisce, nor does it have any specific provision for an allocation directly to An Taisce in 2021.

The information in respect of state bodies, within the scope of the Deputy’s question, is not held by my Department. Contact details for these bodies are set out in the attached document, should the Deputy wish to contact the aegis bodies directly with their query.
