Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 June 2023
350. Deputy Thomas Gould asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media if, given the 3,000-year historical and cultural impact of hurling, money will be provided to support the GAA in promoting the sport in counties where it is not the primary sport. [29646/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraSport Ireland, which is funded by my Department, is the statutory body with responsibility for the development of sport, increasing participation at all levels and raising standards. This includes the allocation of funding to sporting organisations, including the GAA, across its various programmes.
I have referred the Deputy's question to Sport Ireland for direct reply in relation to its funding for the GAA. I would ask the Deputy to inform my office if a reply is not received within 10 days.
