    You reckon they moved Mayo to Dublin because of this?
    The constituency was the biggest winner of Lottery-funded capital sports grants last year – getting double the allocation of Dublin city.

    Lotto grants to Mayo surged by 70pc to €1.8m – leading to accusations that the funding scheme is open to being operated as a political slush fund.

    Mayo moved from ninth to fourth in the rankings of total Lottery grants paid per head of population after Mr Kenny became Taoiseach.

    The funding covers sports, youth, education, environment,health and Irish language projects.

    It jumped from the equivalent of €8.36 for every person living in Co Mayo in 2010 to €14.03 per head last year.

    And €678,000 of the €1.8m the county received was channelled through the department of Mr Kenny's constituency colleague – junior tourism and sport minister Michael Ring.

    The biggest Lotto bonanza was bestowed on Westport, which is Mr Ring's home town.

    The junior minister's department approved three sizeable grants totalling €230,000 for the town last year, a bigger allocation than the whole of south county Dublin.http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/revealed-surge-in-lotto-cash-grants-for-kennys-home-base-26851057.html

    Means nothing in isolation, compare year on year, if it just takes a 230k grant to shove a county up that far one year then I would imagine there's a lot of movement in the tables.

    But Yeah, Enda Kenny has his mits all over Irish lotto too

    Think we have enough bull threads going around at the moment...?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.
