asked the Minister for Health if an application has been received for a grant of surplus national lottery funds by the Tallaght Senior Citizens Club, Tallaght, Dublin 24; and if he will make a statement on the matter indicating when approval will be given on this application.
Written Answers. - National Lottery Funds.

An application has been received from the Tallaght Senior Citizens Club, Tallaght, Dublin 24, for assistance from the health allocation of the national lottery proceeds. Indeed, I have received a very considerable number of requests for assistance from the national lottery proceeds available for health projects. However, as the Deputy will appreciate, it has been possible to accede to only a relatively small number of these requests due to the limited funds available. This year's health allocation has now been distributed or committed in full. Consequently I am afraid I am not in a position to make funds available for the Tallaght Senior Citizens Club in the current year.
