As the Deputy will be aware, the allocation of the proceeds of the National Lottery is a matter for the Minister for Finance. The elements of my Department's Vote which are part-funded by proceeds of the National Lottery are as follows: Subhead C.1 â Grants for sporting bodies and for the provision of sports and recreational facilities under the Sports Capital Programme; Subhead C.3 â Grant-in-Aid provided to the Irish Sports Council in respect of general assistance to sports organisations and expenditure in relation to sports activities; and Subhead D.7 â Grant-in-Aid allocation provided to the Arts Council. Details of the Budget allocations for these subheads for 2010, are outlined in the following table.
| Sports Capital Programme | Irish Sports Council | Arts Council | Total | |
| 2010 | â¬48,000,000 | â¬49,789,000 | â¬69,150,000 | â¬166,939,000 |
