The Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport and Mr. John Treacy will be before us in a week to discuss the issue of pensions. Perhaps we could ask them to outline their proposals for the Government on Sport Ireland and pensions for high-performance athletes and Olympians. I have heard about pensions from the rowers and everybody else. Collectively, there are a lot of people involved. We should have an estimate of the cost to the Exchequer and make a proposal for the Government. All parties are producing their election manifestos and this is an Olympic year. I am not telling anyone how to do their job but maybe the parties should be asked to include what I propose in their election manifestos.
