Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 29 March 2023
87. Deputy Holly Cairns asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media the funding opportunities that are available for sports clubs to assist them in facilitating children and young people resident in direct provision centres participating in club activities, including funding for transport; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [15510/23]
View answerSport Ireland is the statutory body with responsibility for the development of sport, including the allocation of funding under its various programmes. Sport Ireland does not allocate funding directly to clubs but channels it through the relevant National Governing Bodies of sport and the Local Sports Partnerships.
I have referred the Deputy’s question to Sport Ireland for direct reply in relation to any funding or support that may be available to facilitate children and young people resident in direct provision centres participating in club activities. Please contact my private office if you have not received a reply within ten working days.
