Fergus O'Dowd

Question:

410. Deputy Fergus O'Dowd asked the Minister for Education and Skills if she will address matters raised in correspondence (details supplied) on an athletic track or stadium for east County Meath; and if she will set up the required meetings between her Department and Meath County Council to discuss such proposals. [14010/20]

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.
