I want to ask the Minister about the procedures being adopted. Is he suggesting that questions about individual approved projects should be addressed to the individual Departments? Are the decisions being made in the Department of Finance? I have heard other replies which indicate that the decisions are being made by Government. Where does the accountability lie? How will we establish accountability? In relation to the publication next week of the sums from the lottery, will the replacement sums be identifiable as separate from the new funds? For example, the Arts Council had £1 million taken away and received £800,000 and they are expecting a sum of money which would make up the amount of the cut. This is terribly important.

It is terribly important to ask questions.

Will the replacement funds from the lottery be identifiable from the new start-up funds when they are published next week? Regarding the youth services and the Arts Council, the people knocked off the Estimates who will be getting replacement money, are they forever in the Las Vegas world of lottery or may they hope to return to the Estimates next year and in future years?

The Deputy misinterpreted what I said when I spoke about the issue of grants to recipient bodies and the criteria used to determine successful applications, saying that questions should be addressed to the Ministers concerned. I meant that questions in relation to youth and sport should be addressed to the Minister for Education when the Government's decisions are announced. Questions relating to the arts, culture and the Irish language should be addressed to the Taoiseach and Minister for the Gaeltacht. Where the area of health is concerned, questions should be addressed to the Minister for Health. Regarding the Deputy's questions about accountability, normal procedures will operate in whatever Department is spending the money. That is the reality. That means the Departments of Education, Health, the Gaeltacht and the Taoiseach, as well as the Department of the Environment, will be concerned with amenities. So far as any displacement of funds arises, they will be identifiable. As regards youth services, I am not clear what the Deputy was saying.

For the coming year——

Is the Deputy asking if forever more they will have to wait until the lottery funds are allocated to know what they are going to get?

Exactly.

We will take it one year at a time, I have to live one hour at a time at present. The Deputy can be assured that we will look after them.
