Vol. 380 No. 5

Written Answers. - National Lottery Beneficiaries.

30.

asked the the Taoiseach the organisations which have received grants from the national lottery fund since its creation; and the amount which has been paid to each organisation to date.

31.

asked the Taoiseach the amount of moneys allocated under the national lottery up to the most available date; and the precise allocations of payments which will be made up to the end of this year.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 30 and 31 together.

I refer the Deputies to my reply of 2 February, 1988, in which details of projects assisted by my Departments were set out.

Since then, the following projects have been allocated funds from the arts and culture reserve:

Maidir le Roinn na Gaeltachta, tá cuid den airgead a cuireadh ar fáil do Thograí Gaeilge Ilghnéitheacha agus Teagmhais curtha in áirithe do dhá thogra — Atógáil piara ar Oileán Chléire (£200,000) agus scrúdú ar thábhacht airgeadais na Gaeilge do Chathair agus do Chontae na Gaillimhe (£7,000).

Tá an cúnamh seo a leanas íoctha go dáta leis na heagrais thíosluaite:—
