I propose to take Questions Nos. 189 and 190 together.

Capital lottery funding provided for my Department has remained constant over the past five years at €2.539m. In the years 2005 and 2006 the funding is within Vote 40 for the HSE. This lottery funding forms part of the overall Capital Programme for that Vote. It is not available for the provision of discretionary grants to individual voluntary groups by way of general application submissions.
