The final topic I wish to ask about is sports and recreation. I see that approximately €80 million was spent on this area. What is the budget for each of the years between now and the next Olympic Games in Brazil in 2016 for our athletes? I know the money is channelled through the Irish Sports Council but how much does the Department give to the council for Olympic Games preparations?
