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 under its various programmes.

I have referred the Deputy's question to Sport Ireland for direct reply in relation to funding provided to the GAA and the question regarding tickets for All Ireland finals. I would ask the Deputy to inform my office if a reply is not received within 10 days.
