Question:
To ask the Minister for Communities whether future sport investment will be based on a means tested application.

Answer:

My officials have been working with the sports Governing Bodies to establish the extent of the financial impact of the pandemic and the potential future implications given the latest restrictions.

I have submitted a bid to the Executive seeking a financial support package for the sector. If this bid is successful, my officials will work with SportNI to design a needs based scheme, in line with Managing Public Money.
