My Department administers a National Lottery Discretionery fund from which grants are paid to community and voluntary organisations. The total amount paid out in 2009 was €3,985,000, and the funding available in 2010 is €3,786,000. Prior to 2009, details of all recipients of lottery grants were set out in the Appropriation Account of my Department. Following a decision by the Comptroller and Auditor General, the Appropriation Accounts no longer provide this detail, but require each Department to publish this information. As stated in the Appropriation Accounts for Vote 39, details of the recipients of lottery grants are available on my Department's website at www.dohc.ie.

The Agencies directly funded by my Department and their budget allocations for 2010 are set out in the table below. The audited accounts of these agencies are submitted to the Minister and are placed in the Oireachtas library as a matter of course. Agencies directly funded by Department of Health and Children
