The table to which the Deputy refers and the relevant figures on my Department's website relate to the provision of National Lottery funding through my Department's Vote.
In my Department's case, the final outturn for expenditure on the three subheads that were part-funded by the Exchequer amounted to €15.836m in the case of Subhead B.1, €73.393m in the case of Subhead B.3 and €5.837m in the case of Subhead F.1. These are the figures that were shown in Table 2 of Parliamentary Question No. 571 of 2 November 2010 to which the Deputy refers.
The figures available on my Department's website are a subset of this overall subhead allocation, relating only to those elements of the subheads that are part-funded through the National Lottery. Excluded are elements of the subheads which are fully funded by the Exchequer. The breakdown is shown in the tables below.
I acknowledge the potential for confusion that exists and thank the Deputy for bringing it to attention. An appropriate clarification is being added in this regard on my Department's website. Table – Lottery and Non-Lottery Funding in 2009 in Subheads B.1, B.3 and F.1
