Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 October 2013
404. Deputy Niall Collins asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if he will provide in tabular form for each year since 2005 to date in 2013, the amounts paid to each charity from the charitable lotteries compensation fund; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44392/13]
View answerThe Charitable Lotteries Scheme was established in 1997 to provide assistance to the promoters of certain private charitable lotteries that have products similar to products sold by the National Lottery. Assistance under the Scheme was originally drawn solely from the National Lottery surplus but, as with other National Lottery funded subheads, it is now drawn also from exchequer funds. From its establishment until 2011, the Charitable Lotteries Fund was administered by the Department of Finance. In mid 2011 responsibility for its administration was transferred to my Department and details of funding for 2012 and 2011 are as follows:
