As the Deputy may be aware, an overall allocation is provided from the National Lottery each year for expenditure through the Votes of various Departments. Details of this allocation are published in Appendix 1 of the annual Revised Estimates Volume and I understand that a total provision of €220m is being made available in 2012.
Three subheads in my Department’s Vote are partially funded from this National Lottery allocation. The 2012 allocations for these subheads (which include both Lottery and Exchequer funding) are set out in the table.
Subhead | 2012 Allocation€000 |
---|---|
A.9 Grant for the Arts Council | 63,241 |
B.3 Grant for the Heritage Council | 4,811 |
C.4 Irish Language Support Schemes | 4,625 |
