My Department has received a large number of applications under the National Lottery Discretionary Fund which are currently being processed. As most of these applications were only received at the end of last week I cannot yet say if an application has been received from Remember Us for 2015. However, all applicants will be informed of the outcome of the application as soon as a decision has been made.

Remember Us applied to my Department for funding towards this project in 2014. I awarded a grant of €10,000 which was paid to them in July 2014.
