Sport Northern Ireland (Irish: Spórt Thuaisceart Éireann), officially known as the Sports Council for Northern Ireland,[1] is the regional government sports council (funding body) for Northern Ireland. Its head office is based, near Barnett Demesne, at the "House of Sport" on Upper Malone Road in Belfast. It receives some funding from the taxpayer (receiving £11m from the Exchequer in 2022/2023),[1] with funding also coming from the National Lottery (£8m in 2016/2017).[3]
