We must congratulate our Paralympians. Our athletes did not come back from the Olympic Games with extra medals, but using a weighted system does the Department believe their achievements across all events surpassed those in London in 2012 across, including cycling, track and field, swimming and diving? Have we upped our standards and the results achieved? Is there a timeframe for the proposal to establish a national sports policy? For how long will the consultation process continue? When does the Minister expect to see the end product?

With regard to the aviation sector, we do not seem to be making progress in the provision of flights from Boston to Cork.
