I thank the Deputy for asking the question. This matter was raised by Deputy Eugene Murphy a number of weeks ago. He indicated that we had cut the allocation for shows. I want to put on the record of the House that there is no budget for shows. I used discretionary money for two years to give the shows some funding. The Irish Shows Association thanked me for that funding. Deputy Eugene Murphy, the Irish Farmers' Journaland the Roscommon Heraldgot it wrong. I hope they will correct the record.
