Martin Cullen (Waterford, Fianna Fail)

I am discussing that with the board in Abbotstown at the moment. One or two items cannot be picked out, they must be coherent, cohesive and complementary. The medical facilities are important. The indoor training facilities are the core of this as they benefit many sports. The hockey facilities would also have a huge impact and fit naturally with a phased development. The possibility of the Irish men's and ladies' hockey teams doing very well at the 2012 Olympics is real and if we had all the indoor training and medical facilities they need in Ireland in Abbotstown we could make a substantial impact.
