Jimmy Deenihan (Kerry North, Fine Gael)

Does the Minister believe it would be wise to have an audit of our existing facilities to determine whether they meet international training requirements and to determine the number that would be suitable? Having done so, he could, through the International Olympic Committee, inform the various teams that will be participating in the Olympic Games in London of the availability of our facilities. Would this be a practical way to proceed? The national coaching centre in Limerick has received a number of inquiries in this regard, including on the day following the announcement that London was to host the games.
