Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 September 2012
380. Deputy Paschal Donohoe asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs the progress being made regarding applications for funding under the 2012 National Lottery funding; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [40144/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraSubhead C.6 of Vote 40 for my Department contains a funding provision of €500,000 in 2012 to support groups and organisations with an involvement in the provision of supports and services for children and young people under the application based National Lottery Funding Scheme. Full particulars of the funding scheme are available on my Department`s website - www.dcya.gov.ie
Approximately 188 applications for support from the National Lottery have been received by my Department since January of this year and the current value of the applications from individuals, groups and organisations amounts to just over €5 million. The closing date for the submission of completed application forms is Friday, 28th September 2012 and the large number of grant applications received to date far exceed the available resources. In the circumstances, I am sure the Deputy will appreciate that it will not be possible, unfortunately, to assist all applications. However, the assessment of individual applications is continuing as part of the evaluation process and details of the projects awarded funding so far this year and the grants awarded in each instance are set out in the following table:
