View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 251 and 252 together.
Sport 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 across its various funding programmes such as the High Performance Programme and Core Funding Programme.
As decisions on the allocation of funding are a matter for Sport Ireland, I have referred the Deputy's questions to Sport Ireland for direct reply. Please contact my office if a reply is not received within 10 days.
