Vol. 510 No. 4
43 Mr. Deasy asked the Minister for Finance if he will give a breakdown of the distribution from the proceeds of the national lottery funds in 1998 for areas such as sport and health. [19980/99]
While responsibility for sport rests with the Minister for Sport, Recreation and Tourism and while responsibility for health rests with the Minister for Health and Children, I have overall responsibility for the National Lottery. The total lottery allocation for sport, recreation and amenities was: 1998 £37.219 million.
For presentation purposes it has been the practice to show youth/sport/recreation/amenities together as there is a certain degree of overlap between them.
The figure of £37.219 million was allocated from the following votes:
