Tourism Ireland is funded through the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media and the Department for the Economy in Northern Ireland. Funding drawn down from the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media by Tourism Ireland in 2020 amounted to €53,701,000 and to €58,065,000 in 2021. The amount allocated for 2022 is €91,782,000.

The breakdown of the total Exchequer provision for tourism services from my Department's vote is available in the annual Revised Estimates Volume (REV) for Public Services, which is published by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and available on that Department's website.
