Sports Funding
Dail Éireann — 2023-10-19
============================================================

Aindrias Moynihan (FF), Cork North-West

There is often focus on the international teams and the national bodies but the real nuts and bolts of it happen on the ground. The Minister of State had the opportunity to visit Naomh Abán's mothers and others team, St. Val's in Kilmurry and Éire Óg's camogie and ladies' Gaelic football teams. Deputy Murnane O'Connor is an enthusiastic supporter of women in sport and she would have mentioned many local organisations. We see the day-to-day energy and enthusiasm in local organisations and it is very important that the funding makes its way onto the ground to support them. Is there an outline of what the split will be between national bodies and organisations on the ground to ensure the everyday real energy on the ground is supported?
