Written Answers. - Paralmpic Games Funding.
My Department allocated £165,000 to the Irish Paralympic Council towards the preparation and participation of the Irish team in the 1996 Paralympic Games in Atlanta.
In addition, a number of paralympic athletes received grants under the terms of my Department's outstanding sportspersons' grant scheme. Recipients who participated in the 1996 games are listed in the form of a tabular statement which I propose to circulate in the Official Report.
