John O'Mahony (Mayo, Fine Gael)

My information is that the sports partnerships have been told already that they will receive €20,000. They received €60,000 under the previous scheme. One would not have to be a rocket scientist to realise the programme will be cut back drastically if funding does not come from somewhere else. Will the Minister commit to ensuring that the disabled and disability officers will not be subject to cutbacks of the kind my information suggests will occur?
