Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether her Department is providing support for the promotion and playing of (a) Gaelic football, (b) hurling and (c) camogie in England.

Supporting grassroots sport is a key government priority.

Since 2001, Sport England has invested:

1. £95,760 in gaelic football with a further £1,550,240 through multi-sport funding investment;

2. £10,748 in hurling through multi-sport funding investment;

3. £46,407 in camogie through multi-sport investment.
