423. Deputy Pádraig O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Culture, Communications and Sport the number of anti-doping rule violations recorded under the Sport Ireland Anti-Doping Programme, broken down by sport, in each of the years 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and to date in 2026, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [51883/26]

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 of the anti-doping programme by the Anti-Doping unit within Sport Ireland.

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.
