Jimmy Deenihan (Kerry North, Fine Gael)

I am asking questions in response to what the Minister said. The rules should be applied fairly to everyone.

I tabled a question today on the institute of sport but it was ruled out of order by the Ceann Comhairle's office. The Minister recently referred to this matter. I do not know why the question was rejected by the Ceann Comhairle's office but I will take this opportunity to ask the Minister when he thinks the institute of sport will be provided and where it will be located. I agree with what he said. Whatever about the Olympic Games in 2012, it is most important to have a sports institute in this country, as exists in Australia and Canada, if we are to produce world class athletes.
