The Department of Health can detail the amount of money granted through the Department of Health National Lottery Discretionary Fund, and will also request the HSE to provide details of all funding provided to Console.
However, the Deputy should note that Console may have received additional State funding from other bodies and Departments, which will not be contained within this answer.
Console was funded a total amount of €500,000 over the period 2005-2011 from the Department of Health National Lottery Discretionary Fund. In addition to the successful applications detailed in the following table, Console unsuccessfully applied for the National Lottery Discretionary Fund in 2010 and 2015.
| Year of application | Amount sought | Amount granted |
|---|---|---|
| 2005 | 100,000 sought | 100,000 granted |
| 2006 | 50,000 sought | 50,000 granted |
| 2007 | 100,000 sought | 25,000 granted |
| 2008 | 100,000 sought | 100,000 granted |
| 2009 | 100,000 sought | 100,000 granted |
| 2011 | 100,000 sought | 50,000 granted |
| 2012 | 100,000 sought | 75,000 granted |
| Total amount: | €500,000 granted |
With regard to funding from the HSE, as this is a service matter I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond directly to the Deputy as soon as possible.
