Question 128: To ask the Minister for Finance the amounts of money that have been spent annually by the national lottery in the years 2000 to 2006; the percentages of these annual amounts that have been spent annually by the national lottery on local projects in the same years in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36366/09]

The surplus generated by the National Lottery is surrendered to the Exchequer and is allocated to a number of Departments in the context of the annual Estimates process. The attached copies of Appendix 1 of the Revised Estimates for Public Services for each of the years 2000 to 2004 show the allocation of National Lottery funding in each of these years, by Department. The annual amounts are 2000, â'¬152 million; 2001, â'¬167 million; 2002, â'¬220 million; 2003, â'¬201 million; and 2004, â'¬236 million.

Since 2005, the total allocation for subheads which had formerly been funded entirely from the proceeds of the National Lottery has exceeded the funds available from the National Lottery. Therefore, the subheads in Appendix 1 for subsequent years include both National Lottery and Exchequer funding. In 2005, approximately 64% of total expenditure on these subheads, or â'¬211 million, came from the National Lottery, while in 2006 the corresponding figure was 50% or â'¬200 million. What might be regarded as local projects are mainly funded under the headings â€œSupports for Community and Voluntary Sectorâ€ and â€œLocal and Community Development Programmesâ€ under the Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs and the â€œSports Capital Programmeâ€ under the Department of Arts, Sport and Tourism. On this basis, the percentage of National Lottery funding spent annually on local projects is as follows: 2000, 32%; 2001, 39%; 2002, 42%; 2003, 44%; 2004, 47%; 2005, 43%; and 2006, 35%.
