I expect to be in a position to publish a Sports Action Plan covering the period 2021-2023 by the end of July. This will be the first such plan under the National Sports Policy 2018-2027 (NSP) and will contain a series of specific initiatives and actions to achieve increased participation in sport and physical activity, greater excellence in high performance sport and improved governance in our sporting bodies and organisations.

Since the launch of the NSP in July 2018, considerable progress has been made in its implementation. A detailed progress report in this regard has recently been transmitted to the the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and the Media. I have arranged for a copy of this report to be sent directly to the Deputy.
