The Department of Children and Youth Affairs operated a discretionary National Lottery Funding Scheme some years ago in which grants were allocated to community groups and programmes to support children, young people and families. The scheme closed in 2014.

My Department currently has resources at its disposal to support a number of capital schemes, including youth related activities, and details of these are available on my Department's website. Unfortunately, the project mentioned by the Deputy does not appear to fall under the qualifying conditions of any of these schemes.
