1544. Deputy Peter Roche asked the Minister for Culture, Communications and Sport the funding allocated under the Women in Sport Programme to sporting organisations in Galway East, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [59108/26]

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, including the allocation of funding across its various programmes.

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 working days.
