Vol. 463 No. 6

Written Answers. - National Lottery Funding.

Pat Upton

Ceist:

193 Dr. Upton asked the Minister for Education the per capita by population for national lottery funding distributed by her Department for each local authority, county or Dáil constituency for each of the years since 1990. [7124/96]

Details of national lottery assisted projects in my Department for the years 1990 to 1994 are contained in the annual report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts for each year. My Department is currently compiling the information for the 1995 report which will be available later in 1996.

The information in the format requested by the Deputy is not readily available. It would take an inordinate amount of staff time to compile the information which could not be justified having regards to scarce staff resources.

I would like to refer the Deputy to my reply to parliamentary questions Nos. 133, 134 and 135 of 14 June 1995 which included a tabular statement of the disbursement of national lottery funding for the years 1990 to June 1995. I would also refer the Deputy to parliamentary question No. 357 of 23 January 1996 which included a tabular statement of the organisations in each county which were allocated grants under the sports capital programme in 1995. This information may be of assistance to the Deputy.

Should the Deputy wish to obtain further information on a particular national lottery funded scheme I will endeavour to provide the information.
