John O'Mahony: I thank Deputy Feighan for sharing time and I commend him on the work he has done and the commitment he made to highlight the necessity of funding for small businesses. Small businesses in my area are under pressure from both sides. They cannot access money from the banks while, at the same time, they are being put under pressure by their suppliers because of the difficult times they are...
- Motor Trade (15 Oct 2009)
John O'Mahony: I thank the Ceann Comhairle for having selected this issue. The difficulties in the motor trade have been signalled over the past 12 to 18 months in particular. The solution to them, however, has nothing to do with providing extra finance. If anything, money would come into the Exchequer if this issue was dealt with in a constructive and organised way. My constituency of Mayo woke up last...

- Schools Building Projects. (20 Oct 2009)
John O'Mahony: I do not want to go over the ground covered by Deputy Quinn, but the Minister has tried to tell us that the reason the major projects are slower has to do with the new contract or tendering processes. I am somewhat confused as to why there should be such a hold up that almost half of the money has not been spent. I suppose it makes a change for us to be discussing money that was made...

- Sports Capital Programme. (21 Oct 2009)
John O'Mahony: I am a little confused by the Minister of State's response. The question concerns the review and is pertinent to the discussion we had on the previous question. The bottom line with regard to what I and the public want to know is who decides on the allocation or distribution of the sports capital funding? Is the Minister of State aware of the deep dismay that exists with regard to the...

- Sports Capital Programme. (21 Oct 2009)
John O'Mahony: I see from the answer to Deputy Upton yesterday on the "sunset clause", that clubs which were awarded grants subsequently had them withdrawn. The figure came to â¬27 million over the last five or six years and â¬8 million in 2008. Can the Minister of State guarantee that this money will be put back into sports funding or that it will not be lost to sports capital funding? He must be...

- Government Charges on Businesses: Motion (21 Oct 2009)
John O'Mahony: I am delighted to have the opportunity to speak on this topic that affects every town and village throughout the country.
