Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 March 2012
251 Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will confirm the amount of National Lottery funds allocated to his Department; if the funds are spent on specific projects; if so, the name of the project; if the National Lottery fund is allocated to the general spend by his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17012/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Revised Estimates Volume (REV) published by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform provides summary details of programmes part-financed by the National Lottery and disbursed by relevant Government Departments and Offices. The REV provides these details at Vote subhead level and identifies the aggregate amount of National Lottery funding towards the programmes in question, together with the amount of Exchequer funding. For example the 2012 REV identifies that estimated total expenditure of €339 million will be financed by €220 million from the National Lottery, with the remainder funded by the Exchequer (reference page 245 of the 2012 REV).
€147,000 in funding has been allocated to my Department's Vote for expenditure in 2012 which will be part-financed by the National Lottery. The allocations for specific recipients have not yet been finalised.
For the information of the Deputy I enclose details of National Lottery related expenditure disbursed by my Department in 2010 and 2011 in a spreadsheet.
