44.
The only allocation of national lottery funds to projects within my area of responsibility is £1.8 million which has been allocated to the Office of Public Works. None of this is in respect of projects located in County Cork.
The selection of individual projects within the broad programme allocations decided by Government is the responsibility of the Ministers concerned. Detailed questions about the projects on which lottery funds are to be spent should be addressed to the Ministers concerned. Apart from the allocation to the Office of Public Works, allocations of lottery funds have also been made to the Departments of Education, Environment, the Taoiseach, Health, Social Welfare, the Gaeltacht and Foreign Affairs.
