I have on hands a very considerable number of applications from voluntary agencies for assistance from the national lottery funds which have been allocated to my Department including one from the KARE Association in County Kildare. I am at present actively considering these applications. I expect to be in a position to reach a final decision in the near future and the successful agencies will be notified immediately at that stage.
