Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 December 2012
687. Deputy Peter Mathews asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will provide in tabular form a breakdown of funding to the Olympic Council of Ireland for each of the years 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 by podium level, world class level, international level and junior development; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [56576/12]
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 funding for the National Governing Bodies of Sport and for the High Performance programme.
As the Deputy's question relates to the allocation of funding, I have referred it to the Irish Sports Council for direct reply. I would ask the Deputy to inform my office if a reply is not received within 10 days.
