â'¬3.815m has been allocated to my Department in 2006 in respect of the National Lottery discretionary grant scheme. This figure represents 1% of my Department gross 2006 Vote.
In general, applications for National Lottery funding received in my Department are not successful for three main reasons: they relate to projects closely associated with the delivery of health services, thereby more appropriate to the HSE; they relate to projects that are non-health related and more appropriate to other Government Departments; and following assessment of applications by the relevant line divisions of my Department they are not prioritised for funding in the context of the limited National Lottery funding allocated to my Department.
