Sports Funding
Dail Éireann — 2022-01-20
============================================================

Pádraig O'Sullivan (FF), Cork North-Central

Deputy Carey has asked most of the questions I wanted to ask. I understand that the Minister of State has been inundated with requests for this year's funding. Initially we had expected a decision by October, which snowballed into December and now it looks like February at best. A number of clubs have until 27 January to furnish the Department with further details. While I will not hold him to a date, I ask him to indicate when that announcement is most likely. As previous Deputies have said, clubs are getting very anxious at this stage and they have big plans ahead of them.
I would like to ask two other quick questions.
