Question:

367. Deputy Fergus O'Dowd asked the Minister for Education and Skills if her Department has received applications and-or proposals from local schools or organisations in east County Meath for a municipal sports centre and running track; if so, the stage the application and or proposals are at; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

I can confirm to the Deputy that my Department has received the proposals to which he refers. However, I also wish to inform him that my Department does not provide funding for athletics facilities. I would advise him to refer the matter to the Minister for Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht in that context.
