I propose to take Questions Nos. 129 and 131 together.
Sport Ireland provides various training programmes in relation to mental health and wellbeing to sporting bodies. I have referred the Deputy's Question to Sport Ireland for direct reply in relation to these training activities. I would ask the Deputy to inform my office if a reply is not received within 10 days.
