Under Sections 8(b) and 8(c) of the Sport Ireland Act 2015, Sport Ireland has the specific function to encourage the promotion, development and coordination of, and the achievement of excellence in, competitive sport. It also has statutory responsibility to support elite athletes in achieving excellence in sport. Accordingly, Sport Ireland is the statutory body with responsibility for the development of a strategic plan for high performance sport. As this is a matter for Sport Ireland, I have referred the Deputy's question to Sport Ireland for direct reply. I would ask the Deputy to inform my office if a reply is not received within 10 days.
