Sport Ireland is the statutory body with responsibility for the promotion, development and co-ordination of sport, including responsibility for the allocation of funding to the National Governing Bodies of sport. I have referred the Deputy's question to Sport Ireland for direct reply in relation to the allocation of funding to sporting bodies for 2016, 2017 and 2018. I would ask the Deputy to inform my office if a reply is not received within ten days.
