We must recognise the tremendous success of the lottery and the many useful projects which will be grant aided in the coming 12 months. The Minister has outlined the way amenity schemes will be dealt with, with money coming to the local authorities through the Department, but what type of projects does he see being grant aided or supported under the heading "Sport"? In the health area, what projects will be funded?

I agree with Deputy Naughten when he says the lottery is a success. I take this opportunity to congratulate An Post for the success of this campaign and wish them well for the future. As I said, I am not trying to avoid giving a reply but until such time as the Government take the decisions on how the money will be spent under the various headings, I cannot be more specific.
