Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 September 2016
900. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if all groups or entities in receipt of public funds from Sport Ireland must fulfil criteria (details supplied); and if not, the reason therefor. [26920/16]
View answerSport Ireland, which is funded by my Department, is the statutory body with responsibility for the promotion, development and co-ordination of sport. This includes responsibility for the recognition of sporting organisations as National Governing Bodies of sport (NGBs) and the allocation of funding to NGBs.
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.
