The Irish Sports Council, which is funded by my Department, is the statutory body with responsibility for the promotion, development and co-ordination of sport.  This includes responsibility for the recognition of sporting organisations as National Governing Bodies of sport and the allocation of funding to those bodies. As this question is a matter for the Irish Sports Council, I have referred it to the Council for direct reply.  I would ask the Deputy to inform my office if a reply is not received within 10 days.
