Pat Deering (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I welcome the sports capital programme. I come from the small county of Carlow, which was always left to one side by Deputy Dooley's party and largely forgotten about when it came to sports grants. The Minister has indicated that the criteria for the awarding of grants will be transparent on this occasion and I look forward to a decent and fair round of allocations.
