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.
