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. Funding in 2016 amounts to €3.286m.
My Department has received a large number of applications under the National Lottery Discretionary Fund which are currently being processed. However, there is no record of having received an application from the organisation referred to by the Deputy.
I have asked the HSE to check if it has received a lottery application from the organisation concerned and to respond directly to the Deputy.
