I take it the Deputy is referring to non-exchequer sources of funding.

As the Deputy will be aware from information provided in response to previous questions, details of expenditure by my Department which is funded by the National Lottery and the Dormant Accounts Fund are included in the Audited Appropriation Accounts published by the Comptroller and Auditor General for the years 2002-2005.

The provisional outturn for Dormant Accounts-funded expenditure by my Department in 2006 was €17.679m, while the corresponding allocation for 2007 is €28m. The provisional outturn for 2006 in respect of Departmental programmes part-funded from the National Lottery is €36.629m, while the corresponding allocation for 2007 is €39.957m.
