Like many colleagues, my office has been inundated over the past week with representations from parents, coaches, administrators and players of a range of indoor sports, specifically basketball, regarding the most recent guidelines introduced by Sport Ireland. When will clarity be provided to the thousands of people who are being robbed of their opportunity to participate in these sports? I ask that we have that clarity as soon as possible.

Basketball is a great sport and we will do everything we possibly can to facilitate its restoration in these difficult Covid times. The Minister of State, Deputy Chambers, spoke to me about it just before I came into the Chamber and we will be discussing it again later.
