Mr. Brendan Gleeson:

The Deputy mentioned two things. One was about the viability of stadiums and the sector. One could argue that if it did not need public support for those reasons, it would not get public support. These are policy questions for Government. They are legally provided for, so I do not have any latitude regarding what I can and cannot do here.

Regarding the viability issues, one of the things we have asked of RCÉ is to do a new strategic plan. We have asked it to look at rationalisation in the context of making stadiums more viable and consolidating the footprint of the industry to make it more viable. It is looking at that. We have not seen it yet. I can absolutely assure the Deputy that if RCÉ comes out with a plan like that, it will be hotly contested in this House and everywhere else.
