Tourism Ireland’s 2022 funding allocation of €91.782 million from my Department is provided under two subheads of the Tourism Services programme in the annual Revised Estimates Volume (REV) for Public Services, namely:
- Subhead A.4 - Administration and General Expenses
- Subhead A.5 - Tourism Marketing Fund
A total of €18.303 million has been allocated under Subhead A.4 and this allocation is made up of an Exchequer pay provision of €11.946 million, a pension allocation of €0.566 million and a non-pay allocation of €5.791 million.
A total of €73.479 million has been allocated under Subhead A.5. This total includes €66.562 million for Tourism Ireland’s core overseas marketing activity, of which €7.04 million is a Capital Expenditure allocation. The remaining €6.917 million is for delivery of specific marketing activity within the State.
Tourism Ireland does not receive funding under the A.6 Subhead.
