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. Sport Ireland’s remit in the area of child safeguarding is to develop and disseminate guidelines and codes of practice promoting best practice for the protection of children in sport consistent with child protection legislation.
I have referred the Deputy's question to Sport Ireland for direct reply in relation to the number of courses completed. I would ask the Deputy to inform my office if a reply is not received within 10 days.
