Sport Ireland, which is funded by my Department, is the statutory agency with responsibility for planning, leading and coordinating the sustainable development of competitive and recreational sport in Ireland, including the allocation of funding across its various programmes. Sport Ireland does not provide direct funding for clubs or teams as it provides funding to the National Governing Bodies (NGBs) for sport, in this case Basketball Ireland.

My Department has no discretionary funding available to assist in this regard.
