National Lottery funding allocation
The Minister explains that the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform allocates National Lottery funding to departmental programmes, with expenditure details available in official estimates, appropriation accounts and departmental publications.
Responsibility for the allocation of National Lottery funding to Departmental expenditure programmes generally is a matter for the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. Appendix 1 to the Revised Estimates for Public Services, http://per.gov.ie/estpubexp2012/, published by that Department on an annual basis gives information on expenditure programmes which are part funded by the National Lottery.
The annual Appropriation Account for the Vote and my Department’s website http://www.environ.ie/en/Publications/CorporateServices/DeptFinance/ detail relevant expenditure on specific schemes and projects which have been identified as benefiting from National Lottery funding. The relevant data for 2013 will be available on the website following finalisation of this year’s Appropriation Account. To be of assistance, details of expenditure by my Department, part funded by the National Lottery in 2008 -12, are set out in the table.

If the rest of the Deputies could just close up for a little while, we would get through the business. I thank Deputies.

The Ceann Comhairle should keep an eye on Deputy O'Donovan.
