Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 November 2013
477. Deputy Dessie Ellis asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the way national lottery funds are allocated to good causes; and if he will provide in tabular form the good causes and the amount distributed for the period 2008 to date in 2013. [50640/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraResponsibility for the allocation of National Lottery funding to Departmental expenditure programmes generally is a matter for the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. Appendix 1 to the Revised Estimates for Public Services, http://per.gov.ie/estpubexp2012/, published by that Department on an annual basis gives information on expenditure programmes which are part funded by the National Lottery.
The annual Appropriation Account for the Vote and my Department’s website http://www.environ.ie/en/Publications/CorporateServices/DeptFinance/ detail relevant expenditure on specific schemes and projects which have been identified as benefiting from National Lottery funding. The relevant data for 2013 will be available on the website following finalisation of this year’s Appropriation Account. To be of assistance, details of expenditure by my Department, part funded by the National Lottery in 2008 -12, are set out in the table.
