Vol. 508 No. 1

Written Answers. - Millennium Projects.

John McGuinness

Ceist:

425 Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for Health and Children if his Department has received a submission from an organisation (details supplied) in County Kilkenny regarding a child care millennium pilot project; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17257/99]

The Department of Health and Children does not fund voluntary agencies directly. It is open to the organisation to apply directly to their local health board for funding or alternatively they can apply direct to this department for lottery funding.

The number of lottery applications far exceeds the resources available. Each application is considered on its own merits having regard to the overall funding available and the number of applications received.
