Mary Upton (Dublin South Central, Labour)

I thank the Minister for his reply. I have calculated that more than €36,000 was spent in producing these two reports, yet one is little wiser after reading either of them. How are we to know which is the substantive report that spells the situation out as it really is? The Minister knows better than I that this €36,000, for which we can deduce that little value has been obtained, could have been well spent in supporting sporting activities in constituencies throughout the State. With the next Olympic Games in London getting ever closer, a continuation of this faction fighting will be of no benefit to Irish sport and Irish athletes.
