Trevor Sargent (Dublin North, Green Party)

I am sorry about the confusion but I was led to believe there was no confusion.

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss a matter of national importance, namely, that the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism explain how the only cultural centre for traditional music in Fingal has been snubbed by the Government after Fingal County Council, the fastest growing county area, applied for a €2.2 million grant as a contribution to the Seamus Ennis Centre in Naul, north County Dublin, with the undertaking of far greater matching funding from the local authority. Despite the Minister having visited the area, it seems the Government is turning its back on the people of Dublin North. I ask that this decision be reconsidered.
