Minister for Social Protection

National lottery funding is not available through my Department.

Details of Government Departments that do consider applications for lottery funding are available on the National Lottery website (www.lottery.ie). Community groups seeking lottery funding should apply to the relevant Department.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
