Mr. John Treacy:

We were directed by the Minister previously to provide an allocation to the three main field sports because it was a Government initiative and policy to support those three sports. Most of us are aware that approximately 88% of children in primary school participate in sport. The main deliverers of those sports are the three main field sports organisations, the GAA, the IRFU and the FAI, which deliver the programmes in primary schools. We would like to see more happening in terms of physical education in primary school, but that is not the reality. The three main field sports work with the primary schools to get kids involved.
