Both of us come from that area so I am sure he does not mind me throwing in that comment.

We have many sporting clubs throughout the county. One can go cycling, walking, hiking or even have a dip in the Forty Foot or whatever it is one wants to do in Dún Laoghaire. I am a runner and I regularly run from Dún Laoghaire to the Dublin Mountains. It is only 12 km in distance. We are in close proximity to so many free sporting activities that allows one to have a healthy lifestyle. There is also a wealth of cultural experiences in Dublin. I am delighted the Department is working closely with Fáilte Ireland. I thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle for his leniency in allowing me to ask the question.
