I have asked Sport Ireland to seek clarification from the Board of the organisation mentioned by the Deputy concerning a loan provided to the organisation by its Chief Executive. I understand that Sport Ireland is in correspondence with the organisation and I await a report from Sport Ireland once that engagement is concluded.

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.

There is no requirement for the organisation mentioned by the Deputy to submit its financial statements to my Department.

In line with the terms and conditions of grant funding provided to it by Sport Ireland, the organisation is required to submit a copy of its financial statements to Sport Ireland. I understand from Sport Ireland that a copy of the financial statement for 2017 was submitted to it in 2018 as required.
