Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 21 April 2021
621. Deputy David Cullinane asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media if clarification will be given in relation to underage non-contact outdoor training in pods of 15 and when this will apply to persons over 18 years of age; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [18699/21]
Amharc ar fhreagraSport Ireland, which is the statutory body with responsibility for the development of sport, has been engaging with the National Governing Bodies of Sport (NGBs) in relation to the changes to the public health restrictions and is providing guidance and clarification to NGBs where required.
Accordingly, if a specific clarification is required for a given sport, this should in the first instance be raised with the NGB concerned. If the NGB is unable to address the matter satisfactorily, they can consult further with Sport Ireland.
The position around the further reopening of sport, including the matter raised by the Deputy, will be considered further by the Government at the end of this month.
