It should be noted that the National Cultural Institutions also receive capital funding to support the delivery of redevelopment projects as part of the National Development Plan. The level of funding provided in each year relates to the stage and funding requirements for the project in that year.
Any increase in funding for 2024 will be determined in the forthcoming Estimates process.
