Sport Ireland replaced the Irish Sports Council and the National Sport Campus Development Authority on 1 Oct 2015. This year, current funding of €50.968m is to be allocated to Sport Ireland, including Dormant Accounts current funding.
Sport Ireland is the statutory body with responsibility for the promotion, development and co-ordination of sport, including the allocation of grant funding to National Governing Bodies of Sport (NGBs) and to the Women in Sport Initiative. I have referred this part of the Deputy's question to Sport Ireland for direct response. I would ask the Deputy to inform my office if a reply is not received within 10 days.
