294. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport when it is planned to announce the 2019 allocations to the local sports partnerships; and the reason for the delay. [40227/19]
View answerSport 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, including the allocation of funding across its various programmes. This includes the allocation of funding to Local Sports Partnerships. I have no role in the process.
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.
