Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 June 2022
441. Deputy Willie O'Dea asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media if she will consider increasing the funding available for minority sports such as basketball; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [29246/22]
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, including the allocation of funding to sporting organisations across its various programmes.
I have accordingly referred the Deputy's question to Sport Ireland for direct reply. I would ask the Deputy to inform my office if a reply is not received within 10 days.
