1410. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport further to Parliamentary Question No. 675 of 11 July 2017, the way an organisation (details supplied) has selected athletes from Northern Ireland to compete in international events can be described as representing the Republic of Ireland; the reason the organisation should claim to restrict itself voluntarily to representing the Republic of Ireland; if this has formally been approved by the membership; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As in respect of PQ Number 32166, Dáil Question 675 of 11 July 2017, this would also be a matter for the National Governing Body. National Governing Bodies of Sport (NGBs) are independent, autonomous bodies and are responsible for their own governance procedures and competition rules for their sports. Contact details for the organisation were supplied in my reply to Dáil Question number 675 of 11 July 2017.
