One of the objectives relating to the sale of the National Lottery licence for a 20 year period was to generate significant up-front proceeds for the State. Proceeds of €405m from the sale were used to fund a range of expenditure projects and served to reduce the need for any further tax increases at that time.

The allocation of funding from subheads which are part-funded from the National Lottery is the responsibility of a number of Government Departments and Agencies. These Departments and Agencies are listed each year in Appendix 1 of the Revised Estimates for Public Services (REV). 

The Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht publish on their Departmental website each year, information in respect of expenditure which was part-funded by the national lottery. Please see the relevant link attached. Subheads A9, B3 and C4 are described in the REV as ‘part-funded by the national lottery’ The information in respect of C4 relates directly to the Irish language.
