Amharc ar fhreagraMy 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 €605,000 has already been allocated.
I have recently decided on the allocation of the remaining funds and the list of all successful organisations will soon be published on my Department's website.
All organisations who applied for funding will be notified of the outcome of their application.
