My Department does not provide National Lottery-funded grants under the headings referred to by the Deputy. My Department does provide grants-in-aid, part-funded by the National Lottery, to a number of adult education organisations, such as AONTAS and the National Adult Literacy Agency (NALA), which undertake adult education, cultural and scientific activities. The funding is for their general running expenses.
