I propose to take Questions Nos. 616 and 617 together.

Responsibility for the allocation of National Lottery funding to Departmental expenditure programmes generally is a matter for the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. The surplus generated by the National Lottery for good causes is transferred annually to the Exchequer and is applied to part-fund the Exchequer allocations to a specified range of expenditure subheads across a number of Departments, including my Department.

The amount transferred to the Exchequer from the National Lottery surplus, together with details of the total Exchequer allocations to the relevant Lottery supported subheads, is published each year by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform in Appendix 1 of the Revised Estimates for Public Services (REV)which are available online at .

The table below sets out the total national lottery funding (some €107.488m) allocated to my Department in the last six years; no portion of this funding has been kept in reserve.
