I also welcome the new round of sports capital grants. The value of sport in our society is still very much underestimated. I hope that this time around the soccer clubs in Wexford are treated fairly. Last time round, the biggest sport in the county got only 5% of the money allocated because Deputy Howlin interfered and commandeered the bulk of the money for his own backyard.

It is good to see that the Government is starting to think about social housing but €30 million is a drop in the ocean.
