Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 January 2018
905. Deputy Paul Murphy asked the Minister for Health the reason the disbursement of lottery grants to a group (details supplied) has been delayed; if this disbursement can be expedited; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [55223/17]
View answerMy Department administered a National Lottery Discretionary Fund during the years 2008 to 2016 from which once-off grants were paid to community and voluntary organisations providing a range of health related services. My Department no longer operates a National Lottery Fund. However, the HSE operates a similar scheme and continues to provide grants to health agencies and other organisations from National Lottery funds.
I have asked the Health Service Executive to reply directly to the Deputy regarding this particular query.
