270. To ask the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht in light of the Gymnastics Ireland scandal and the promise from Sport Ireland to introduce anti-racism training in the NGBs; if she will can outline what percentage of the fund going to the twenty nine local sports partnerships will be ringfenced for this training; who will carry out the training; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

In May 2022 Sport Ireland published its Diversity and Inclusion Policy and developed an action plan to support the implementation of that policy. Included in that action plan is detailed support for building capacity in the sport sector, including training and education.
I have referred the Deputy’s question to Sport Ireland for direct reply with regard to the actions it is taking on anti-racism training for the sector. Please contact my office if a reply is not received within 10 days.
