Minister of State at the Department of Culture, Communications and Sport

Sport Ireland, which is funded by my Department, is the statutory body with responsibility for the development of sport, increasing participation at all levels and raising standards. This includes the administration and distribution of high performance funding.

Accordingly, I have referred the Deputy's question to Sport Ireland for direct reply. I would ask the Deputy to inform my office if a reply is not received within 10 days.

The referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Orders.
