Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department administered a National Lottery Discretionary Fund up to and including 2016 from which once-off grants were paid to community and voluntary organisations providing a range of health related services. My Department no longer operates a National Lottery Fund.
Details for National Lottery funding from my Department from 2008 - 2016 can be found at https://www.gov.ie/en/collection/af1133-department-of-health-lottery-funding-2008-2016/
The HSE operates a similar scheme and continues to provide grants to health agencies and other organisations from National Lottery Funds. Details of the scheme are available at:
