Séamus Brennan (Dublin South, Fianna Fail)

This is the first year of an operational subsidy. I have made clear to the centre and do so again that the €1.8 million must be a once-off subsidy for this year. It must get itself to at least break even. I am totally opposed to getting involved in current day-to-day subsidies for operational facilities which should be able to break even at least. I want to examine the matter more closely to understand how I can bring that about.
