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

The development of strategic plans for individual sports is a matter for the relevant National Governing Bodies of Sport. Strategic plans relating to participation in tennis is a matter for Tennis Ireland.

I will ask Sport Ireland to bring the Deputy's question to the attention of Tennis Ireland and request that they communicate directly with the Deputy regarding their plans for increasing participation in Drogheda.

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