It is taken that the Deputy is referring to the National Digital Database of Sporting and Recreational Facilities which has been under development by Sport Ireland, the authority responsible for the development of sport in Ireland.
In October 2023, I joined Sport Ireland to launch the "Get Ireland Active" database, which is now operational. It is the definitive resource for information, advice, directions, and tips for people of all ages and abilities anywhere in the country to get active and take full advantage of the amenities and facilities around them.
I have referred the Deputy’s question to Sport Ireland for direct reply with regard to the specific information available on the database concerning playing pitches. Please contact my office if a reply is not received within 10 working days.
