Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 17 June 2004
126 Ms O. Mitchell asked the Minister for Health and Children if consideration will be given to the lottery application by the Charleville Sheltered Housing Services for essential equipment for their new central care unit. [18171/04]
View answerMy Department received an application for a grant from the health and children allocation of national lottery funds on the 2 June 2004 from Charleville Sheltered Housing Services.
There is a protocol in my Department for processing applications for national lottery grants. When the completed application form is received in my Department it is registered in the finance unit and forwarded to the relevant services division for their assessment, evaluation and recommendation. All applications are then considered in the context of the recommendation and the overall level of funds available to me. The application is one of many under consideration for a grant from my Department and the organisation will be informed as soon as a decision has been made.
