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, including the allocation of funding across its various programmes.

I have referred the Deputy's question to Sport Ireland for direct reply regarding programmes in 2022 to support children and young people to actively participate in sport and physical activity. I would ask the Deputy to inform my office if a reply is not received within 10 days.
