Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 20 June 2013
269. Deputy Sandra McLellan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if submissions made by governing bodies of sporting organisations, in receipt of State funding, to the Irish Sports Council are available for public scrutiny; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29908/13]
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 responsibility for the allocation of funding to the National Governing Bodies of Sport.
As the Deputy’s question relates to submissions made to the Irish Sports Council, I have referred it to the Council for direct reply. I would ask the Deputy to inform my office if a reply is not received within 10 days.
