I propose to take Questions Nos. 239 to 241, inclusive, together.
Sport Ireland, which is funded by my Department, is the statutory body with responsibility for the development of Sport, increasing participation at all levels and raising standards. This includes the allocation of funding across its various programmes, including the Women In Sport programme.
The Deputy's questions relating to the spending criteria that are set out for National Governing Bodies of sport and Local Sports Partnerships when they are given funding under the Women In Sport programme and the amount of funding that has been provided through the programme since its inception are matters for Sport Ireland. I have, therefore, referred those questions to Sport Ireland for direct reply. I would ask the Deputy to inform my office if a reply is not received within 10 days.
Sport Ireland has no plans at the moment to carry out a report on the outcomes of the Women In Sport programme.
The referred reply under Standing Order 42A was forwarded to the Deputy.
