Vol. 388 No. 9

Written Answers. - National Lottery Allocations.

73.

asked the Minister for Finance the amount of national lottery funds which accrued from outlets in County Mayo in 1988; and the total amount of national lottery revenue allocated to projects in County Mayo for the same period.

As I have indicated in replies to previous parliamentary questions, the geographical breakdown of lottery ticket sales relates to the detailed operations of the national lottery which are the responsibility of the licensee, An Post National Lottery Company. I have no function in the matter.

Within the broad allocations decided by Government, the selection of individual projects for assistance from lottery funds is a matter for the spending Ministers concerned. Detailed questions about the expenditure of lottery funds, including geographic distribution, should therefore be addressed to the Ministers involved. This information is not available in my Department.
