Deputy John Browne asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of sporting organisations in receipt of funding for the Irish Sports Council that are availing of vetting services for the Garda Central Vetting Unit; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [43790/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 184 and 185 together.
The Deputy may wish to note that the Garda Central Vetting Unit (GCVU) provides a vetting service for sporting organisations including the GAA, FAI, IRFU, SWIM Ireland, Irish Athletics Association, Irish Boxing Association, The Irish Pony Club and Basketball Ireland. However, the GCVU is not in a position to comment on which of these organisations receives funding from the Irish Sports Council as it is not in possession of such information.
