Olivia Mitchell (Dublin South, Fine Gael)

The Minister said he had already had inquiries about Abbottstown. Decisions will be made in the next year or two about where teams will go and they will not book into a place that has not yet been built. Therefore, it is time for the Minister to make up his mind. Has there, for example, been a response to the University of Limerick proposal for the project that would cost €28 million, half of which the university would put up itself? Has the Minister done anything with regard to the recommendations of the Indecon report, particularly the proposal from Limerick? Given we are not going to build in Abbottstown and there will be no improvement in facilities there, will there be compensatory investment in either UCD or the University of Limerick as recommended by the report?
