The Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation has no decision making role in relation to the distribution of National Lottery funding to community based projects. Nor indeed do the County and City Enterprise Boards (CEBs). The funding available from the CEBs is aimed towards providing assistance to commercially viable micro-enterprises in the start-up and expansion phases with priority being given to micro-enterprises in the manufacturing and potentially internationally traded services sectors. Furthermore, the four Dublin-based CEBs have each confirmed that they have not met with representatives of the named project.
