Olivia Mitchell (Dublin South, Fine Gael)

I understood the previous Minister received it but was not happy with it and asked the Department to re-examine it. A facilities audit was carried out. Has information been passed to the organisers of the London Olympics to make them aware of what is available in Ireland? Has a response been received in this regard? It was also suggested that if we did not have the training facilities for teams or were unable to host any of the events that we might be in a position to host some of the qualifying tournaments and events. Has progress been made in this regard? If it were possible, they would need to be in the pipeline.
