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. This includes the allocation of funding to sporting organisations across a variety of funding schemes.

I have referred the Deputy's question to Sport Ireland for direct reply in relation to funding allocated to sporting organisations in 2020. I would ask the Deputy to inform my office if a reply is not received within 10 working days.
