John O'Donoghue (Kerry South, Fianna Fail)

If the political mechanisms are put in place in the North, it should be possible for us to have discussions with the new Northern Ireland Executive about developing the horse and greyhound racing industry in Northern Ireland. Tourism Ireland has proved to be a really important template in this respect as it has been very successful. As a Kerryman from the deep south, nothing would give me greater pleasure than to have an excuse to visit the North more often. If a high class greyhound stadium existed there, I am sure it would act as a magnet to the Deputy as well.
