334. Deputy Gerald Nash asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if he will make provision under the new lottery licensing regime to provide funding for organisations currently in receipt of resources from the Department of Justice and Equality under the charitable lotteries scheme which will be gradually wound down; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThere are no plans to make provision under the next National Lottery licence regime for the funding of specific organisations.
It is the intention that under the next licence, money raised by the National Lottery for good causes will continue to be applied for the following purposes: sport and other recreation, national culture and heritage (including the Irish language), the arts, health of the community, youth, welfare and amenities.
