Text

I thank the Minister for his answer. One of my younger constituents, Charlie Wall, has been selected to represent Toxic Hockey in the under-12s inline hockey event in Barcelona. Charlie is the only person from Northern Ireland to have been selected. In-line hockey is not recognised by Sport NI, and Charlie's participation is entirely self-funded. Will the Minister look at that case for me?
