Vote 35 - Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media (Supplementary) (23 Nov 2022)

Jack Chambers: Tá áthas orm sonraí a thabhairt faoi €35 milliún breise mar mheastachán forlíontach don chlár spóirt in 2022. Chabhródh an maoiniú seo le costais fhóntais agus mhaireachtála méadaithe a mhaolú do chumainn agus eagraíochtaí spóirt. Tá go leor de na heagraíochtaí seo ag brath ar oibrithe...

Jack Chambers: On the Deputy's first point, I agree that we need to ensure sustainability is a key focus in the sports capital investment we make. That is why in the most recent round, the Minister, Deputy Catherine Martin, and I rewarded clubs with sustainable applications. It was part of the scoring criteria, which have since been published. In the most recent round, many clubs changed their...

Vote 35 - Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media (Supplementary) (23 Nov 2022)

Jack Chambers: We will be flexible in those situations. Sport Ireland will work through that. Cases involving a single club will be more straightforward. For clubs that are local authority based, the local authority gets a separate allocation through the Minister, Deputy Darragh O'Brien. Where facilities are shared, the allocation will be based on the combined demand. The net point is that facilities...

Vote 35 - Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media (Supplementary) (23 Nov 2022)

Jack Chambers: A portion of the €35 million will be kept aside to deal with certain anomalies that might arise. There will be more complex club or community structures which might not fit within a national governing body, NGB, arrangement. Community pool facilities, for example, may not have any relationship with an NGB. We are keen to ensure those facilities are maintained. The main thing is to...

Jack Chambers: Beimid os comhair Coiste na Gaeilge, na Gaeltachta agus Phobal Labhartha na Gaeilge an tseachtain seo chugainn and, as the Deputy knows, there has been a significant increase. I think there was a 10% increase in the subheads for the Gaeltacht in the recent budget, which outstrips much of what we are discussing today. There is a provision on energy costs for Gaeltacht communities as part of...
