Sports Funding
Dail Éireann — 2023-01-26
============================================================

Joe Carey (FG), Clare

Does the Minister of State anticipate that the budget for the forthcoming programme will be similar to that of the last programme? It was a record budget the last time and 69 clubs in Clare benefited to the tune of €4.6 million. Spending more on sport gives much more back. It is not just about physical well-being; mental health also benefits from an injection in sports facilities. I ask the Minister of State to give his view on that. How much money has he sought? Will it compare favourably with last year?
