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

Responsibility for staffing is an operational matter for Sport Ireland, and I have no direct role in such matters. I have referred the Deputy's question to Sport Ireland for additional information on this matter. I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a reply is not received within 10 days.

A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Order 51
