360. Deputy Michael Ring asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media the funding allocated to each national governing body of sport in each of the past five years; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [36433/24]

Sport Ireland, which is funded by my Department, is the statutory body with responsibility for the development of sport in Ireland, increasing participation at all levels and raising standards, including the allocation of funding across its various funding programmes.

As the issue raised is a matter for Sport Ireland, I have referred the Deputy's question to the agency for direct reply. I would ask the Deputy to inform my office if a reply is not received within ten working days.
