Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 November 2012
425. Deputy Regina Doherty asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht when announcements will be made in relation to his Department's National Lottery funding payments for 2012; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [49864/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy may be aware, an overall allocation is provided from the National Lottery each year for expenditure through the Votes of various Departments. Details of this allocation are published in Appendix 1 of the annual Revised Estimates Volume and I understand that a total provision of €220m is being made available in 2012.
Three subheads in my Department’s Vote are partially funded from this National Lottery allocation. The 2012 allocations for these subheads (which include both Lottery and Exchequer funding) are set out in the table.
