I propose to take Questions Nos. 228, 232, 233, 242, 246 and 247 together.
I refer the Deputies to the Government's Framework for Restrictive Measures www.gov.ie/en/publication/ad569-level-3/#measures-in-place-from-1-december, which outlines the overriding public health rationale for the suite of measures applicable to each of the Framework's five levels.
Under the current level 3 of the Framework, only individual training is permitted indoors subject to compliance with prevailing public health requirements. Sport Ireland has published practical guidance on the measures around indoor sporting activity on its website at www.sportireland.ie/covid19/individual-and-indoor-training.
Apart from the limited number of exemptions set down in the public health regulations, which are subject to extraordinary levels of monitoring control and supervision that are not amenable to being replicated at non-elite levels at multiple locations countrywide, all other sports are subject to the current level 3 restrictions on indoor sporting activity.
I can confirm that my Department received correspondence from a representative of the inline figure skating and artistic roller skating communities, and that a response has issued, advising that they make contact with Sport Ireland, the statutory body responsible for the development of Irish sport at all levels.
