914. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his plans for the promotion of association football, given the tremendous health benefits of football and the important role of the sport in representing Ireland in international competition. [23895/15]
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.
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.
