The allocation of national lottery funds for different purposes is decided by Government. Spending Ministers are responsible for the selection of individual projects within their own areas. Detailed questions about the issue of grants, including geographic distribution, should therefore be addressed to the Ministers concerned.
Within my area of responsibility, the following amounts were issued to the Office of Public Works in 1988, for the restoration of the following buildings, all in County Dublin:

As indicated in my reply to questions tabled in the Dáil on 2 May 1989, the Government have not yet finalised their consideration of lottery allocations for 1989 and I am not, therefore, in a position to make a statement on the details of these allocations.
