Last winter, the Tánaiste, the then Minister for Finance, Deputy Michael McGrath, and I surveyed the damage that had occurred at Sarsfields GAA Club in Glanmire following extensive flooding. The astro turf pitch and bar area were destroyed and the clubhouse damaged. The main pitch has to be reinstated. There have been long delays with insurers, loss adjusters and so on. To be fair, the State and the Government have always said they would stand by the club and would not be found wanting when that process had been completed. I have been in regular contact with the Minister of State, Deputy Thomas Byrne, who has visited the site more than once and has been consistent in his support for the club. Now that all of the issues surrounding the loss adjusters and insurance have been resolved, will the Tánaiste confirm, preferably before we leave today, when the State support that was pledged will be with the club?
