Jimmy Deenihan (Kerry North, Fine Gael)

Following the publication of the Indecon report, I suggest the Minister appoint an individual as a chief executive to spearhead the programme and the campaign to attract teams and their entourages to Ireland for the Olympic Games. I feel such a focus is required. A task force is one thing and it has performed well but we need a high-profile person to take responsibility for selling Ireland to various countries around the world.
