[5115/09]

Appendix 1 of the Revised Estimates for Public Services 2004 shows the allocation of National Lottery funding to subheads in the Votes of Government Departments for 2004. A similar breakdown of expenditure which was part-funded by the proceeds of the National Lottery is given in Appendix 1 of the Revised Estimates for Public Services for each of the years 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 (copies of these appendices are set out below).
Since 2005, subheads which had previously been funded completely by the proceeds of the National Lottery are now partly funded by such proceeds. As the Lottery funds are treated as an item of non-tax revenue, it is not possible to indicate the percentage of Lottery funding contained in any individual subhead. The National Lottery contribution to the funding of all subheads part-funded from the Lottery in the years 2005 to 2008 is as follows:
Year | €m |
2005 | 210.5 |
2006 | 200.0 |
2007 | 230.0 |
2008 | 265.0 |

Question 172: To ask the Minister for Finance the percentage of subheads' funding (details supplied) which were accounted for by national lottery money in each of the previous five years in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5117/09]
Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)
Link to this: Individually | In context
The tabular statement requested by the Deputy is as follows.
Percentage funded by the National Lottery in 2004 | |
C1 Grants for Sporting Bodies and the Provision of Sports and Recreational Facilities | 100% |
C3 Irish Sports Council — Administration and General Expenses | Nil |
C4 Irish Sports Council — General Assistance to Sports Organisations and other Expenditure in relation to Sports Activities | 100% |
D9 The Arts Council | Nil |
D10 The Arts Council | 100% |
From 2005, subheads which had previously been funded completely by the proceeds of the National Lottery are now partly funded by such proceeds.
As the Lottery funds are treated as an item of non-tax revenue, it is not possible to indicate the percentage of Lottery funding contained in any individual subhead.
