I cannot answer this question on behalf of the Taoiseach. I attended the GAA congress dinner in April but did not attend the congress itself. For that reason I cannot elaborate further.

A degree of confusion may have arisen in respect of this question. I understand it was originally put to the Taoiseach before being transferred to the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport. I am happy to withdraw it on the basis that the Minister may not have received the information necessary to respond.

In a nutshell, I attended the dinner but did not make any comment.

The question relates to an issue raised with the Taoiseach during the course of a debate in this House but his Office referred it to the Minister's Department.
