asked the Minister for Finance if he will give details of all national lottery moneys which have been received by his Department; if he will give details of the allocation of these funds by his Department; and the commitments entered into in regard to future disbursement.

£1.8 million has been allocated by Government to the Office of Public Works, for which I have responsibility. It will be used to fund expenditure on the following projects in 1988:

Custom House — restoration of stonework

1,000,000

Holy Trinity Church, Dublin Castle — remedial and restoration works

To date, £950,000 of lottery funds has been issued to the Office of Public Works for expenditure on these projects. Further issues will be made as required in the course of the year.
