My Department has a funding provision this year of €500,000 in respect of the National Lottery Funding Scheme. Over 500 applications for grant support have been received from individuals, groups and organisations. The current value of these applications amounts to €15 million which far exceeds the available resources. I am sure the Deputy will appreciate that, in the circumstances, it will not be possible to assist all applications. However, the assessment process is at an advanced stage and all applicants will be informed of the outcome as soon as final decisions have been made. Details regarding the projects that have been awarded grants to date are set out in the following table.
