Motorsport is not included in the Sport Ireland International Grant Scheme.
An Offaly TD believes it is not fair that Formula 2 driver Alex Dunne doesn't recieve funding from Sport Ireland.
Fine Gael's John Clendennen is calling on 'generational' talent Dunne to be recognised for his achievements and is urging Motorsport Ireland and Sport Ireland to support the 19 year old in his field.
Motorsport is not included in the Carding criteria through the Sport Ireland International Grant Scheme.
Alex's team currently fund their own travel, accomodation and everything else that goes into preparing to race at the highest level.
Deputy Clendennen says the structure surrounding funding for athletes needs to be looked at:
