Written answers

Minister for Health

My Department administers a National Lottery Discretionary Fund from which once-off grants are paid to community and voluntary organisations providing a range of health related services. My Department has no record of receiving an application for lottery funding for this particular project in 2014.

I have ask the Health Service Executive to check if it received such an application and to respond directly to the Deputy.
