Bernard J. Durkan

Question:

105 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Education if he will outline the number of requests received in his Department from County Kildare for grant aid from the proceeds of the national lottery; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Education (Mr. S. Brennan)

My Department makes grants available from the proceeds of national lottery under the following broad headings: (a) Irish Language; (b) Arts and Culture; (c) Youth and Sport.

A breakdown of the number of requests from County Kildare for funding under these headings is not readily available. I would be glad, however, to provide details of any specific request for funding in which the Deputy has a particular interest.
