Question:

133 Mrs. O'Rourke asked the Minister for Education whether a further allocation of national lottery funding will be made to sporting and social groups which have applied to her Department; if so, when; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [25040/96]

Minister for Education (Ms Bhreathnach)

I expect that further funds will become available in 1997 for allocation under the sports capital programme but no decision has been made on the amount involved or the timing of grant allocations.
