My Department received an application for National Lottery funding from the organisation referred to by the Deputy. Applications for National Lottery grants far exceed the resources available. The lottery fund for 2015 has recently been allocated and, unfortunately on this occasion, it was not possible to assist in this particular case. The organisation has been notified of the outcome of its application.
I would encourage this Organisation to apply again in the 2016 round of grants.
