Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 November 2013
1003. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs the position regarding an application under the national lottery grant scheme in respect of an organisation (details supplied) in County Donegal; when a decision will issue; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [46993/13]
View answerMy Department has a funding provision of €500,000 in respect of National Lottery Funding for 2013 and the closing date for applications was the 18th October 2013. Over 600 applications, totalling over €7.5m, were received and the organisation to which the Deputy refers is one of these applications. As the volume of applications far exceeds the available resources it may not be possible to assist all applications. The assessment process is ongoing and all applicants will be informed of the outcome as soon as final decisions have been made.
