That is what I am talking about. The seven businesses were giving sponsorship and such businesses were great to provide sponsorship to organisations in towns and villages and now they are gone. Unfortunately, in some situations, we are again dependent on alcohol companies to help sponsor local community centres and GAA clubs. Such sponsorship is vitally important. If such sponsorship is removed, it will only add more hardship to community groups. I am pleased the Minister agrees this is not the right way forward and that he will not support the amendment. While I am in the Dáil I will never support such an amendment.
