446. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Culture, Communications and Sport whether an organisation (details supplied) has provided the Department with detailed high performance accounts for each of the past five years; whether these accounts are reviewed by the Department, Sport Ireland or any other State body; and whether the Minister will require the organisation to publish detailed high performance income and expenditure, including athlete supports, staff travel, accommodation, consultancy, administration, team supports, veterinary/medical supports. [49478/26]

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. This includes the administration and distribution of high performance funding.

Accordingly, I have referred the Deputy's question to Sport Ireland for direct reply. I would ask the Deputy to inform my office if a reply is not received within 10 days.
