Written answers

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 programmes.

Sport Ireland does not provide direct funding for clubs but channels the funding through the relevant National Governing Body (NGB) of Sport. Sport Ireland has no mechanism to allocate funding or provide support to organisations outside of this process.

The club mentioned by the Deputy should contact the relevant NGB for its sport to see what supports might be available.
