Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 20 April 2016
507. Deputy John Brassil asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport to provide Elite Martial Arts recognition as a governing body by the Irish Sports Council; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7247/16]
View answerSport Ireland, which is funded by my Department, is the statutory body with responsibility for the promotion, development and co-ordination of sport in Ireland. This includes responsibility for the recognition of sporting organisations as National Governing Bodies. I have referred 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.
