I propose to take Questions Nos. 184 and 185 together.

The Deputy may wish to note that the Garda Central Vetting Unit (GCVU) provides a vetting service for sporting organisations including the GAA, FAI, IRFU, SWIM Ireland, Irish Athletics Association, Irish Boxing Association, The Irish Pony Club and Basketball Ireland. However, the GCVU is not in a position to comment on which of these organisations receives funding from the Irish Sports Council as it is not in possession of such information.
