Sport Ireland, which is funded by my Department, is the statutory body with responsibility for the development of strategies for increasing participation in recreational sport at national and local level and to co-ordinate the implementation of those strategies.  While there is no specific programme within my Department to provide funding for the purpose outlined by the Deputy, given Sport Ireland's remit, it may be the case that the programme in question could be considered by Sport Ireland.

Accordingly, I will send your correspondence onto Sport Ireland for attention and direct reply. If you do not receive a reply from Sport Ireland within ten working days please contact my office.
