asked the Taoiseach whether he has received an application for national lottery funding from the Cullenswood House Association to assist with the restoration of Cullenswood House, Dublin 6, which was the first bilingual school founded by Patrick Pearse; if this application will be granted; and when the association will be informed.

I understand that inquiries were made to the National Heritage Council about the possibility of national lottery assistance in respect of the restoration of Cullenswood House.

An application form for grant assistance from the National Heritage Council issued to the Cullenswood House Association, and when returned, the application will be considered on its merits by the council.
