My Department administers a National Lottery Discretionary Fund from which once-off grants are paid to community and voluntary organisations providing a range of health related services. Funding in 2016 amounts to €3.286m of which €585,000 has been allocated to date.
The application for funding received from the organisation referred to by the Deputy is among a large number of applications currently being assessed by my Department.
I will decide on the allocation of the remaining funds in the coming weeks. Once a decision has been made, organisations will be notified of the outcome of their application.
