I regret the delay in responding to the Deputy's representations regarding an application for a National Lottery grant for Act for Meningitis, Tuam Road, Galway. The matter was receiving attention and I am pleased to inform you that I have approved a once-off grant of €50,000 from the National Lottery to fund a national support and awareness campaign. I recently wrote to the organisation informing them of the approval and my Department issued a letter dated 7 July concerning payment of the grant.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
