Tony Mulcahy (Fine Gael)

Like my colleagues, I welcome the Minister of State to the House and I thank him for his comprehensive presentation. I am somewhat at odds with Senator Mooney. I have no doubt that the Minister of State, Deputy Ring, will hold the senior ministry and that he will have the drive, spirit and enthusiasm to carry it to the end. We will see who is the Minister of State after a four or five year period. In the meantime I have no doubt the Minister of State, Deputy Ring, will punch well above his weight. Can the Minister of State indicate what percentage of national lottery funding goes to sport? Is there a percentage and how is it divided up? It is a question similar to that asked by Senator Mooney. We will do anything we can to help.
