Question:
To ask the Minister of Culture, Arts and Leisure to list the (i) recipients; and (ii) relevant awards from Sports NI since May 2011.

Answer:

To sustain and increase participation, and improve performances in sport, Sport NI, an arms length body of my Department, invests in a range of projects throughout the north of Ireland. Sport NI is a Lottery award distributor and also provides exchequer funding to a number of Sport NI recognised Governing Bodies of Sport and sports groups and clubs seeking funding in the north.

Details of investments awarded by Sport NI since May 2011 to March 2014 can be accessed on the Sport NI website at http://www.sportni.net/funding/funding-guidance/ I have arranged for details of awards granted since April 2014 to date to be placed in the Assembly library.
