Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media

Sport Ireland, the statutory agency with responsibility for the development of sport in Ireland, including high performance sport, undertakes such reviews after each Olympic/Paralympic Games.

For the purposes of the Tokyo Games review, Sport Ireland has already appointed independent service providers to complete that review, which will consist of three distinct phases:

- Phase 1: Pre-Games Assessments

- Phase 2: Post-Games Surveys

- Phase 3: Independent Service Provider Reviews

It is envisaged that the review will be completed and published by the end of this year.
