As the Deputy will be aware, the distribution of the proceeds of the National Lottery is the responsibility of the Minister for Finance. Grants for sporting bodies and the provision of sports facilities and recreational facilities are part funded by the National Lottery, but the annual Estimates do not include a breakdown of the source of funding between National Lottery and Exchequer funding.
