Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 21 April 2021
624. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media the criteria in respect to the allocation of funding to Sport Ireland in 2020 used to allocate monies to the different sporting organisations; the breakdown of the funding being awarded across major sporting bodies here by Sport Ireland in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [18817/21]
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. This includes the allocation of funding to sporting organisations across a variety of funding schemes.
I have referred the Deputy's question to Sport Ireland for direct reply in relation to funding allocated to sporting organisations in 2020. I would ask the Deputy to inform my office if a reply is not received within 10 working days.
