I propose to take Questions Nos. 1298 and 1304 together.

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, including to the organisation mentioned by the Deputy.  I have therefore 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.
