56. To ask the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht to explain where the funding is being repurposed from within her Department's arts and culture programme to fund the increases announced for the Arts Council, Culture Ireland, Screen Ireland, Safe to Create, and Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann, given the overall programme budget is only increasing by 0.7% in Budget 2024.

In 2024, I secured a total of €367.406m for Arts and Culture, up from €356.982m in 2023. This is an increase of €10.424m equivalent to 3%.
The detailed breakout of each of my Department's programme areas and subheads for 2024 will be made available as part of the Revised Estimates Volume to be published later this year.
