Members of Aosdána whose income falls below a threshold are entitled to an annual stipend, known as the cnuas. The purpose of the cnuas is to assist such members to focus full time on their creative work. Of the 220 members of Aosdána in 2006, 122 received the cnuas. Payments made in respect of Aosdána members totalled €1,547,749 in 2006 (2005: €1,492,037). Included in this figure is €38,853 (2005: €40,535) of pension deductions from Aosdána members in receipt of the cnuas and €26,423 (2005: €33,776) of pension contributions made by The Arts Council. The Council makes contributions on behalf of the Aosdána members who are both cnuas and non-cnuas recipients. Tá na baill sin d’Aosdána a bhfuil ioncam acu atá faoi thairseach áirithe i dteideal stipinne bliantúla, a dtugtar an cnuas air. Is é cuspóir an chnuais ná cabhrú lena leithéid de bhaill bheith ag díriú go lánaimseartha ar a gcuid oibre cruthaíche. As 220 ball Aosdána i 2006, fuair 122 an cnuas. Ba é méid iomlán na n-íocaíochtaí a rinneadh i dtaca le baill de chuid Aosdána ná: €1,547,749 i 2006 (2005: €1,492,037). Cuirtear san áireamh san fhigiúir seo laghduithe pinsin €38,853 (2005: €40,535). ó bhaill Aosdána a fhaigheann an cnuas agus ranníocaíochtaí pinsin €26,423 (2005: €33,776) a rinneadh ag an gComhairle Ealaíon.

NOTE 12 : RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS/BEARTA PÁIRTÍ GHAOLMHAIR

The Arts Council is an autonomous Irish Government Agency. The Council receives grant aid from the Oireachtas and the National Lottery. This funding is received via the Department of Arts, Sports and Tourism. Due to to various material transactions with that department it is regarded as a related party. Is Áisínteacht uathrialach de chuid Rialtas na hÉireann í an Chomhairle Ealaíon.Faigheann an Chomhairle cabhair dheontais ón Oireachtas agus ón gCrannchur Náisiúnta.Faightear an maoiniú seo tríd an Roinn Ealaíon, Spóirt agus Turasóireachta.Mar gheall ar bhearta éagsúla ábhartha leis an Roinn sin breathnaítear uirthi mar pháirtí gaolmhar. The Tyrone Guthrie Centre at Annaghmakerrig, Co. Monaghan, is a company limited by guarantee established to provide a workplace for artists. The board of the company is appointed by An Chomhairle Ealaíon and the Arts Council of Northern Ireland. During 2006 the two Councils provided revenue funding totalling €380,082 (2005: €331,821) to the Centre; and An Chomhairle Ealaíon provided funding totalling €41,021 (2005: €36,147) for capital purposes. Is cuideachta faoi theorainn ráthaíochta é Lárionad Tyrone Guthrie ag Eanach Mhic Dheirg, Co.Mhuineacháin, comhlacht a bunaíodh le hionad oibre a sholáthar d’ealaíontóirí.Ceapann an Comhairle Ealaíon agus Comhairle Ealaíon Thuaisceart Éireann bord na cuideachta.Le linn 2006 chuir an dá Chomhairle maoiniú ar fáil don Ionad arbh é a luach iomlán €380,082 (2005: €331,821); agus chuir an An Chomhairle Ealaíon maoiniú €41,021 (2005: €36,147) ar fáil chun críocha caipitiúla.

Under the Ethics in Public Office Acts 1995 and 2001, and the Arts Council’s own governance procedures several members of the Council declared conflicts of interest in respect of arts organisations that received funding in 2006. Council members who declare an interest do not take part in the discussions of or decisions on grants to those organisations in respect of which they have declared an interest. A list of grants made to the organisations concerned and details of the Council members who made a disclosure is detailed below. Faoi na hAchtanna um Eitic in Oifigí Poiblí 1995, agus 2001, agus faoi nósanna imeachta rialachais na Comhairle Ealaíon féin, dhearbhaigh roinnt ball den Chomhairle coinbhleachtaí leasa i dtaca le heagraíochtaí ealaíon a fuair maoiniú in 2006.Ní ghlacann na baill sin den Chomhairle a dhearbhaíonn a leithéid de choinbhleacht páirt sa phlé faoi dheontais do na heagraíochtaí sin ar dhearbhaigh siad coinbhleacht leasa a bheith i gceist dóibh, ná sna cinntí ina dtaobh.Luaitear thíos liosta na ndeontas a tugadh do na heagraíochtaí ábhartha agus sonraí na mball Comhairle a dhearbhaigh coinbhleacht leasa.

NOTE 13 : STAFF PENSION SCHEME/ SCÉIM PHINSIN NA FOIRNE

The Council has a defined benefit staff pension scheme, funded by equal contributions from participating staff and the Council. An actuarial valuation to determine the value of the liabilities in accordance with FRS17 was carried out on the scheme at 31st December 2006 by a qualified independent actuary. In calculating these liabilities an assumption has been made that the current practice whereby pensioners receive post retirement increases in line with salary increases paid to serving staff will continue. However, the Council is funded on the basis that it, in turn will fund its pensions on a fund salary basis only. Post retirement increases in pensions are met out of current revenue and not out of the pension fund./Tá scéim phinsin foirne sochair shainnithe ag an gComhairle, arna maoiniú ag ranníocaíochtaí ón bhfoireann atá páirteach sa scéim agus ón gComhairle; íocann an ball foirne a leath agus íocann an Chomhairle an leath eile.Rinneadh luacháil achtúireach ar an scéim ag an 31 Nollaig 2006, le luach na ndliteanas a chinneadh de réir FRS17, ag achtúire cáilithe neamhspleách.Agus na dliteanais seo á n-áireamh rinneadh bonn tuisceana go leanfar ar aghaidh leis an gcleachtas reatha mar a bhfaigheann pinsinéirí méaduithe iarscoir atá de réir na méaduithe tuarastail a íoctar leis na baill foirne reatha.Maoinítear an Chomhairle, áfach, ar an mbonn go maoineoidh sí a cuid pinsean ar bhonn tuarastal ciste amháin.Déantar freastal ar mhéaduithe iarscoir ar phinsin ón ioncam reatha, ní ón gciste pinsin. This valuation estimated that the liabilities arising from the ‘final salary’ element of the pension arrangements exceeded related assets by €804,647. (2005: €1,599,117) and this deficit is recorded on the Balance Sheet. The Council has sought permission from its sponsoring department to transfer additional funds to the scheme so as to eliminate the deficit. Rinneadh an luacháil seo meastáchán gur mó €804,647 na dliteanais a éiríonn as gné ‘tuastal deiridh’ na socruithe pinsin ná na sócmhainní comhfhreagracha.(2005: €1,599,117) agus tá an t-easnamh seo tuairiscithe ar an gClár Comhardaithe.Tá cead iarrtha ag an gComhairle ar a Roinn Urraíochta airgead breise a aistriú go dtí an scéim chun an t-easnamh a ghlanadh. The valuation also estimated liabilities of €3,280,775 (2005: €3,564,000) arising from the practice of paying post- retirement increases. In this case, the Council believes it is appropriate that it recognises a matching ‘deferred asset’, taking into account present Government policy on the payment and funding of such increases, which the Council believes will continue for the forseeable future. Chomh maith leis sin, rinne an luacháil meastachán go n-éireoidh dliteanais €3,280,775 (2005: €3,564,000) as an gcleachtas méaduithe iarscoir a íoc.Sa chás seo, creideann an Chomhairle go bhfuil sé tábhachtach go n-aithníonn sí ‘sócmhainn iarchurtha’ chomhfhreagrach, ag cur san áireamh bheartas reatha an Rialtais maidir le méaduithe den sórt sin, a gcreideann an Chomhairle go leanfaidh sé ar aghaidh go ceann tamall maith.

NOTE 14: DEFERRED ASSET - PENSION SCHEME /SÓCMHAINN IARCHURTHA- SCÉIM PHINSIN

2006 2005  

Balance at 1st January/ Iarmhéid ag 1 Eanáir 3,564,000 2,552,000 Income & Expenditure Account / Cuntas Ioncaim agus Caiteachais 277,991 201,000 Actuarial (gains) / losses associated with post retirement increases (561,216) 811,000 (Gnóthachain) / caillteanais achtúireacha a bhaineann le méaduithe iarscoir

Balance at 31st December/ Iarmhéid ag 31 Nollaig 3,280,775 3,564,000

The deficit on the defined benefit pension scheme per note 13 includes an allowance for post retirement increases for all members of the scheme. A corresponding asset is also recorded on the Balance Sheet equal to the deficit arising from post retirement increases only, reflecting the Council’s expectation that such increases will be funded by the Government. The movements on this asset account are calculated by comparing the movement on the pension scheme deficit including and excluding post retirement increases. The difference in the actuarial gains/losses under both assumptions results in an adjustment to the Pension Scheme Reserve on the Balance Sheet and an adjustment to deferred funding income in respect of final-salary increases. Cuimsíonn an t-easnamh ar an scéim phinsin sochair shonraithe mar atá i nóta 13 liúntas le haghaidh méaduithe iarscoir do gach ball de chuid na scéime.Tá sócmhainn chomhfhreagrach tuairiscithe ar an gClár Comhardaithe arb ionann é agus an t-easnamh a thagann as méaduithe iarscoir, agus astu sin amháin, ag teacht le hionchas na Comhairle go maoineoidh an Rialtas na méaduithe sin.Déantar comparáid idir an ghluaiseacht ar easnamh na scéime pinsin le méaduithe iarscoir san áireamh agus an ghluaiseacht chéanna gan na méaduithe sin san áireamh agus, ar an gcaoi sin, ríomhtar na gluaiseachtaí ar an gcuntas sócmhainní seo.Mar thoradh ar an difríocht sna ghnóthachain/ caillteanais achtúireacha faoin dá bhonn tuisceana, déantar leasú ar an gCúlchiste Scéim Phinsin ar an gClár Comhardaithe agus déantar leasú ar ioncam maoinithe iarchurtha i dtaca le méaduithe tuarastal deiridh.
