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 its various programmes, including the organisation mentioned by the Deputy.

I have referred the Deputy's question to Sport Ireland for direct reply in relation to the funding it allocates to the organisation. I would ask the Deputy to inform my office if a reply is not received within 10 days.
