Amharc ar fhreagraIn June 2017, the person mentioned by the Deputy requested a meeting with the Minister of State for Tourism and Sport and me to brief us on progress within the women's game in the relevant sport and to discuss areas where my Department could assist the organisation in its efforts to positively drive the women's game forward. The Minister of State, Deputy Brendan Griffin and I, accompanied by an official from my Department, met with the CEO and another representative from the organisation on 12 July 2017 at which they made a presentation on developments in the women's game, including a proposal for Government support. The Minister of State and I undertook to consider the proposal.
The meeting was not minuted. However, the official who attended the meeting did prepare a note on the meeting for the information of the head of the relevant division within my Department. I will arrange for a copy of the official's note to be forwarded to the Deputy.
