Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement
Cross-Border Support: Special Olympics Ireland
12:15 pm
Mr. John McKernan:
I will respond to the point made by Deputy Conlan about the cross-Border element of funding. We support the Ulster programme across the nine counties and we have 1,300 volunteers and 15 clubs that span the three counties of Cavan, Donegal and Monaghan. All of the programmes and benefits from the funding, including Sport Northern Ireland, coach education and courses for volunteers, take place on a Ulster-wide basis. We do not differentiate between the Six Counties and the three counties.
