The details of National Lottery Funding disbursed by my Department in 2009 and 2010 is provided in tabular form in the following spreadsheet.

The Revised Estimates Volume (REV) published by the Department of Finance provides summary details of programmes part-financed by the National Lottery and disbursed by relevant Government Departments and Offices. The REV provides these details at Vote subhead level and identifies the aggregate amount of National Lottery funding towards the programmes in question, together with the amount of Exchequer funding. For example the 2011 REV indicates that total funding of €410.685 million in 2010 was financed by €250 million from the National Lottery and the remaining €160.685 was funded by the Exchequer (ref REV Appendix 1, page 235).
