The distribution of the proceeds of the National Lottery is the responsibility of the Minister for Finance. A sum of €33m is being provided in the Estimates for grants for sporting bodies and the provision of sports and recreational facilities. This is part funded by the National Lottery, but the annual Estimates do not include a breakdown of the subhead between National Lottery and Exchequer funding.
