Alan Kelly (Tipperary North, Labour) | Oireachtas source

I do not propose to accept the amendment. With any grant scheme, it is open to the relevant Oireachtas committee to keep it under review. I expect the Joint Committee on the Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht, under the chairmanship of Deputy Michael McCarthy and the participation of Deputy Cowen as a member, to do exactly that in respect of this particular scheme.

I do not see the necessity for the amendment.
