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 the allocations for these subheads for the each of the past three years and for 2010 are outlined in the Revised Books of Estimates.
