The Government decides on an annual basis how much funding is to be allocated to subheads which are part-funded by the proceeds of the national lottery. This occurs in the context of decisions on the Estimates for Public Services for the following year.

The allocation of the national lottery funds for 2010 will therefore be considered during the forthcoming Estimates process.
