Vol. 422 No. 4
198 Mr. Nealon asked the Minister for the Environment if he will outline the amounts received in County Sligo from the national lottery allocations of (a) £2 million for local authority library service (b) £4 million for amenity projects and (c) £1 million for swimming pool renovations.
199 Mr. Nealon asked the Minister for the Environment if he will outline the amounts received in County Leitrim from the national lottery allocations of (a) £2 million for local authority library service, (b) £4 million for amenity projects and (c) £1 million for swimming pool renovations.
I propose to take Questions Nos. 198 and 199 together.
Amounts of £53,500 and £40,000 have been paid or approved for payment in 1992 to date to Sligo and Leitrim County Councils, respectively, in respect of grant allocations made under the amenities-recreational facilities grants scheme in earlier years. Further payments will be made during the year as claims are received and processed. There is no provision in my Department's Vote for new allocations in 1992 under the scheme.
Grants for swimming pools and public library projects are paid on the basis of claims submitted by local authorities for costs incurred on approved projects. No such claim has been recieved to date this year in respect of any project in Sligo or Leitrim.
