Séamus Brennan (Dublin South, Fianna Fail)

My predecessor established the London 2012 task force last August and it has done very good work. We are awaiting the final report of Indecon International economic consultants, which was commissioned by the task force and is nearing completion. I would prefer to postpone detailed discussion until I have the report but the task force is of a very high order and comprises very experienced people representing different organisations. They are all well aware of the opportunities for a number of sports to attract qualification rounds, such as basketball, boxing, equestrian events, hockey, rowing, sailing and soccer. I hope the House will have a full discussion on the report as soon as it is available.
