Question:

262. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform further to Parliamentary Question No. 9 of 18 April 2013, if he will indicate in the budget 2013 documentation where there is an estimate for the receipt from the sale of the national lottery licence, and where the proposed use of the proceeds, a portion of which will be used for the construction of the new national children’s hospital, is shown in the budget 2013 documents. [20030/13]

Written answers

Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform

The overall Budgetary position includes a provisional estimate of the amount that we expect to receive from the licencing arrangements for the National Lottery. For obvious commercial reasons it would be inappropriate to give details in advance of the tendering process.
