Minister Martin and I met Minister Foley earlier this year to discuss physical activity in the school setting generally.

I will soon be launching a Sports Action Plan covering the period to end-2023 which will include a number of actions involving increased collaboration between my Department and the Department of Education aimed at securing increased levels of sport and physical activity amongst school children. A meeting in that context has been arranged for later this month and the matter raised by the Deputy can be explored further in that setting.
