Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 October 2025
522. Deputy Mark Wall asked the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality if there are any sports clubs or sports organisations that have applied for and are in receipt of core funding; their names, and the date they received any such funding; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [53307/25]
View answerSports clubs or sports organisations may, via the provision of an Afterschool offering, qualify for receipt of Core Funding. However, it is not feasible, in the time allotted to respond to the Deputy’s question, to determine the number of such entities currently in receipt of Core Funding. The difficulty in establishing this number lies in the fact that Core Funding Partner Services are not categorised by typology of organisation, and it will be a time-consuming endeavour to overlay such a typology on the Core Funding data administered by Pobal. We have tasked Pobal with obtaining this data and will furnish same to the Deputy as soon as officials have the response to hand.
