Vol. 475 No. 8
46 Mr. Doherty asked the Minister for Tourism and Trade when the recommendation of the recently announced report by the strategy group on sport in Ireland to include sports under the remit of his Department will be implemented; and the changes in personnel, policy or otherwise, if any, which will arise. [6039/97]
227 Mr. Killeen asked the Minister for Tourism and Trade his views on the implications for his Department of the recently announced report by the strategy group on sport in Ireland which recommended the inclusion of sport with the tourism and trade brief; and when this recommendation will be implemented. [6083/97]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 46 and 227 together.
Matters relating to the report of the sports strategy group, Targeting Sporting Change in Ireland, which was launched on 18 February 1997, are the responsibility of my colleague, Deputy Bernard Allen, Minister of State at the Department of Education who has specific responsibility for sport. I understand he is currently considering the recommendations in the report.
