1557. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the allocation to Sport Ireland in 2016 and 2017; and the distribution of Sport Ireland funding to sports bodies in receipt of Sport Ireland funding in the same period, in tabular form. [37669/17]

The Current Funding allocation to Sport Ireland (including Dormant Accounts current funding) in 2016 and 2017 is as follows:

2016: €50.968m

2017: €53.835m

Sport Ireland is the statutory body with responsibility for the promotion, development and co-ordination of sport. This includes responsibility for the allocation of funding to the National Governing Bodies of sport.  I have therefore referred this aspect of 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.
