Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 February 2019
608. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the amount of grant funding provided to each national sport governing body in each of the years 2014 to 2018 and to date in 2019; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6609/19]
View answerSport Ireland is the statutory body with responsibility for the promotion, development and co-ordination of sport and the allocation of funding to National Governing Bodies of Sport. I have, therefore, 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.
In addition, National Governing Bodies of Sport have benefitted from funding under the Sports Capital Programme during the period in question. Details of all allocations and payments to all clubs and organisations under the Sports Capital Programme (SCP) since 1998 to 2018 are published on the Department's website, http://www.dttas.ie/sport/english/sports-capital-programme.
To date in 2019 two payments have been made under the Sports Capital Programme to National Governing Bodies of Sport and these are set out in the table below.
