Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 October 2012
735. Deputy Jerry Buttimer asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will provide a breakdown of the funding provided through his Department, in each of the last five years, to each sporting organisation who had athletes representing Ireland at this year's Olympic games; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44837/12]
View answerThe Irish Sports Council, which is funded by my Department, is the statutory body with responsibility for the promotion, development and co-ordination of sport, including the allocation of current expenditure funding to National Governing Bodies of Sport (NGBs).
I have referred the Deputy's question to the Irish Sports Council for direct reply. I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a reply has not been received within ten days.
