As the Deputy will be aware, the allocation of the proceeds of the National Lottery is a matter for the Minister for Finance. The elements of my Department's Vote which are part-funded by proceeds of the National Lottery are as follows:

Subhead C.1 – Grants for sporting bodies and for the provision of sports and recreational facilities under the Sports Capital Programme;

Subhead C.3 – Grant-in-Aid provided to the Irish Sports Council in respect of general assistance to sports organisations and expenditure in relation to sports activities; and

Subhead D.7 – Grant-in-Aid allocation provided to the Arts Council.

Details of expenditure part-funded by proceeds of the National Lottery under these subheads in the last two years, together with the Revised Estimates allocations for 2009, are outlined in the table.
