Vol. 479 No. 3

Written Answers. - Grant Aid.

Noel Treacy

Question:

97 Mr. N. Treacy asked the Minister for Education the number, names, amounts, dates of allocation, dates of payment and other relevant details of all national lottery funding and other grants sanctioned by her Department in each of the years from 1 December 1994 to 15 May 1997; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [13084/97]

The following table summaries the national lottery funding received by my Department from 1994-6:

Year

Expenditure £'000s

1994

36,971

1995

33,021

1996

36,064

The funding was distributed annually over the broad heading under which national lottery funds are allocated. These are, Irish language, arts and culture, youth and sport. Details of specific projects grant-aided by my Department from national lottery funds are published annually in the appropriation accounts. The projected disbursement of £36.484 million national lottery funds by my Department in 1997 is outlined by subhead in the Revised Book of Estimates.
The amount of time required to provide full details of all projects which have been funded since 1994 would be inordinate. I would be glad, however, to provide full details of any project in which the Deputy has a particular interest.
