Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 April 2015
472. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if an audit of compliance and adherence by national sporting bodies and their funded organisations has been completed regarding the code of ethics and good practice for children in sports; and if it is a mandatory factor in being grant-aided that they must be in full compliance and are addressing outstanding cases which arise year on year. [16230/15]
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. This includes responsibility for the development of the Code of Ethics and Good Practice for Children's Sport and for the allocation of funding to National Governing Bodies of Sport.
As the matters raised in the Deputy's question are the responsibility of the Irish Sports Council, I have referred the question to the Council for direct reply. I would ask the Deputy to inform my office if a reply is not received within 10 days.
