My Department administered a National Lottery Discretionary Fund up to and including 2016 from which once-off grants were paid to community and voluntary organisations providing a range of health related services. The 2016 National Lottery Fund provided a grant of €24,075 to the National Women's Council of Ireland (NWCI) to fund the World Congress on Women's Mental Health in March 2017.The other organisations named by the Deputy were not awarded National Lottery funding by my Department in 2016.

I have asked the Health Service Executive to reply directly to the Deputy regarding funding paid to the organisations named during 2016.
