Responsibility for the allocation of National Lottery funding to Departmental expenditure programmes generally is a matter for the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. Appendix 1 to the Revised Estimates for Public Services, http://per.gov.ie/estpubexp2012/, published by that Department on an annual basis gives information on expenditure programmes which are part funded by the National Lottery.
The annual Appropriation Account for the Vote and my Department’s website http://www.environ.ie/en/Publications/CorporateServices/DeptFinance/ detail relevant expenditure on specific schemes and projects which have been identified as benefiting from National Lottery funding. The relevant data for 2013 will be available on the website following finalisation of this year’s Appropriation Account. To be of assistance, details of expenditure by my Department, part funded by the National Lottery in 2008 -12, are set out in the table.
