Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 April 2015
471. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the steps that were taken by either the Sports Council of Ireland or its subsidiary body, the Athletics Association of Ireland, to ensure compliance with the code of ethics with regard to the expulsion of six athletes, three of whom were children, from Donore Harriers Club in Chapelizod, Dublin 20, since 2013. [16229/15]
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 development of the Code of Ethics and Good Practice for Children's Sport.
As this question is a matter for 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.
