Minister McGrath to review National Lottery good causes funding distribution model
The Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Michael McGrath T.D. today, 28th April 2021, has announced plans to review the transparency and effectiveness of how National Lottery Good Causes funding is distributed.

€425 million will be spent on Good Cause projects in 2021, part-funded by approximately €245 million raised by the National Lottery.
This funding is assigned to a range of projects in areas such as sports, culture, the arts, the Irish language, heritage, health and youth projects.

WAKING NED DEVINE Is an Underrated Heist Movie

Waking Ned Devine is an undeniably delightful comedy. Set along the Irish coast in the fictional village of Tullymore, at the outset it looks like a fun buddy comedy about a pair of aging friends who spend their time playing the lottery, paling around at their local pub, and going for joyrides on a little motorbike. But there’s one very important caveat: the 1998 film is a actually heist movie.
In a way it’s a very understated heist film. There are no weapons and certainly no breaking into bank vaults in the dead of night. In fact, nobody travels beyond the outskirts of the fictional village of Tullymore. (Besides, of course, an unassuming lottery man coming in from Dublin to scope out the claim of a winning lottery ticket.) However, at its core it’s a film about two men pulling off a scheme to defraud the Irish National Lottery to the tune of seven million pounds.
