Mary Upton (Dublin South Central, Labour)

I did some sums also on the funding allocated to arts and sport. My read is that there is a drop of 8% for them. That is a substantial cut and is significantly more than in other Departments. I raise that against the background of what will happen to sport in general and, in particular, to the national sports campus. Am I correct in thinking that only €4.4 million has been set aside for 2009?
