83 Deputy Pádraic McCormack asked the Minister for Finance if he intends to provide the same level of funding to the Department of Community, Equality and Gaeltacht Affairs as was provided in 2010; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35496/10]

As the Deputy will be aware, 2011 funding for all Departments will be considered by Government in the context of the ongoing Estimates process. It would be premature to make any comment on such matters in advance of the conclusion of that process.
