Amharc ar fhreagraThe Sports Action Plan 2021-2023, which I launched a number of weeks ago, contains more than 40 distinct actions to assist the ongoing development of the sports sector over the period to end-2023.
My Department is progressing work on the implementation of the plan. In relation to the specific action on the holding of regular stakeholder forums with the sport sector to facilitate the collation of insurance pricing data to inform six-monthly presentations to the Cabinet Committee on Insurance, it is envisaged that the initial such forum may be convened during the course of the second quarter of this year with a view to a mid-year presentation to the Cabinet Committee.
Functional responsibility for regulatory matters concerning the insurance industry rests with my colleague, the Minister for Finance.
