Written answers

Minister for Children and Youth Affairs

I propose to take Questions Nos. 395 and 396 together.

The National Lottery Grants distributed by my Department, from 2011 up to 2014 are being forwarded to the Deputy in tabular format as requested.

The tables give a brief description of the type of activity, for which funding was applied for by each organisation over the four year period concerned.

Whether the funding granted was required to part or fully fund a project, would be a matter for individual organisations who were successful in obtaining Lottery funding.

The Deputy should also note that the full allocation of National Lottery funding was awarded annually and no monies were held in reserve or carried-forward in any given year.
