I have on hands a very considerable number of applications from voluntary agencies for assistance from the health allocation of national lottery proceeds including a request from the North Eastern Health Board for funds for the Meath sheltered workshop. Departmental officials have been in contact with the health board seeking additional information on the workshop. I expect to be in a position to reach a decision regarding the balance of the Health allocation of national lottery proceeds in the near future when the successful agencies will be notified immediately.
