Dáil Éireann Debate, Friday - 16 December 2016
519. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if a payment was made, and the details of any such payment, by his Department or any body under the aegis of his Department to provide for the bail of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [41006/16]
View answerI wish to confirm that no payment was made by my Department to provide for the bail of the person referred to by the Deputy.
Sport 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 allocation of funding to National Governing Bodies of Sport.
I have referred the Deputy's question to Sport Ireland for direct reply. I would ask the Deputy to inform my office if a reply is not received within 10 days.
The referred reply under Standing Order 42A was forwarded to the Deputy.
