As the Deputy is aware, an overall allocation is provided from the National Lottery each year for expenditure through the Votes of various Departments. Details of this allocation are published in Appendix 1 of the annual Revised Estimates Volume. However, for the Deputy's convenience, Table 1 below sets out the allocations made available in each year since 2005.

Table 1: Total National Lottery allocation to Departments 2005-09

Three of the subheads in my Department's Vote are partially funded from this National Lottery allocation. Details of the total expenditure (which includes both Lottery and Exchequer funding) on these subheads are provided in Table 2 below.

Table 2: Expenditure on D/CEGA subheads part-funded from National Lottery 2005-10 (to end-October)

*There were some realignments of subheads in 2006, with certain programme expenditure related to community development moving from what was then Subhead K. Supports for Community and Voluntary Sector to a newly formed subhead L.1 Local and Community Development Programmes . These have since become Subheads B.1 and B.3 respectively.

**Subhead F.1 Ciste na Gaeilge was Subhead C in 2007, 2006 and 2005.
