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.

Sport Ireland does not provide direct funding for clubs or individuals but channels the funding through the relevant National Governing Body of Sport (NGB), in this case the FAI.

Clubs and individuals are advised to contact the FAI to see what support might be available through it as the NGB to assist them.
