Vol. 372 No. 11

Written Answers. - National Lottery.

113.

asked the Minister for Education if she will extend the proceds from the national lottery to allow grants to be paid for recreational facilities and community centres; if she will accept applications for this; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

The funds recently allocated to my Department by way of proceeds from the national lottery will be supplied to the area of grant-in-aid to youth and sport activities.

My Department have no plans, at this stage, for providing capital grant assistance towards recreational facilities and community centres in the context of the distribution of moneys received from the national lottery. Accordingly, the invitation of applications on this basis does not arise at the present time.

This matter will receive appropriate consideration by my Department in the context of any further funds which may be available from the national lottery in the future.
