Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 June 2016
530. Deputy John Deasy asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the capital and operational funding allocated directly to the Football Association of Ireland in each of the years from 2002 to 2016 to date, not including individual clubs grant aided under the sports capital programme. [18424/16]
View answerDetails of all allocations under the sports capital programme are published on the Department's website dttas.ie.
In relation to operational funding, Sport Ireland, which is funded by the Department, is the statutory body with responsibility for the promotion, development and co-ordination of sport. This includes responsibility for the allocation of funding for National Governing Bodies of Sport. As this is a matter for Sport Ireland, I have referred it to Sport Ireland for direct reply. I would ask the Deputy to inform my office if a reply is not received within 10 days.
