Mary Upton (Dublin South Central, Labour)

Is there a possibility of fast-tracking some of the developments in train, such as in Abbottstown? A 200 m track has been proposed. Why do we not go for a long-term strategy and seek a 400 m track and encourage top-class athletes to avail of such a facility? I am interested in fast-tracking the filling of gaps which will be identified and highlighted in the national audit. As the Minister stated, this will provide major economic and sporting opportunities for the country.
