Vol. 466 No. 2

Written Answers. - National Lottery Funding.

Seymour Crawford

Ceist:

62 Mr. Crawford asked the Minister for Finance the amount of national lottery funding raised in County Monaghan; whether a more realistic level of this funding should be spent on the county in view of the fact that with more than 100 miles of Border there must be a very high percentage per capita raised in County Monaghan. [11238/96]

Minister for Finance (Mr. Quinn)

Details of national lottery turnover in particular areas are commercial matters of a confidential nature to the National Lottery Company and which would not be appropriate for publication.

In relation to the arrangements for the allocation of national lottery funds, I refer the Deputy to my reply to Parliamentary Question No. 14 of 30 April 1996.
