Dáil Éireann Debate, Friday - 16 September 2016
1764. Deputy Noel Rock asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will review the high costs involved in coaching education by national sports bodies (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24809/16]
View answerThe cost of coaching education is a matter for the relevant National Governing Bodies of sport (NGBs). All NGBs are independent, autonomous bodies and are responsible for their own governance procedures and competition rules for their sports, including matters relating to coaching education. Neither I nor Sport Ireland have any role in relation to the charges applied for the coaching course mentioned by the Deputy.
I would suggest that the Deputy contact the relevant NGB directly in relation to this matter. My office would be pleased to provide the Deputy with contact details, if he so wishes.
