Sport Ireland, which is funded by my Department, is the statutory body with responsibility for the development of sport, increasing participation at all levels and raising standards. It also has responsibility for Sport Ireland Outdoors (formerly the National Trails Office).

I have referred the Deputy's question to Sport Ireland for direct reply in relation to the matter mentioned by the Deputy. I would ask the Deputy to inform my office if a reply is not received within 10 days.
