Vol. 396 No. 6

Written Answers. - National Lottery Project Funding.

Gerry O'Sullivan

Ceist:

243 Mr. G. O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Education the projects which were funded by the national lottery in her Department in 1989.

Expenditure by my Department on activities funded from the national lottery amounted to £22.230 million in 1989 and was distributed as follows between the broad headings under which national lottery funds are allocated:

£m

Irish Language

1.441

Arts and Culture

3.057

Youth, Sport and Recreation

17.732

Total

22.230

Expenditure on the different activities within the Youth, Sport and Recreation heading was as follows:

£m

General Expenses of Youth organisations and other expenses in relation to youth activities.

8.000

Grants for the provision of recreational facilities.

1.488

General Expenses of Sports Organisations and other expenditure in relation to sports activities.

4.424

Grants for the provision of major sports facilities.

1.870

Grants to Vocational Education Committees in respect of Youth and Sports activities.

1.700

Grants to Royal Zoological Society of Ireland.

0.250

Total

17.732

The amount of time required to provide details of all projects funded through the lottery would be inordinate. I will be glad, however, to provide details of any projects in which the Deputy has a particular interest.
