Jack Wall: Question 12: To ask the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism if his Department is providing funding for the recently announced programme of refurbishment and redevelopment of major GAA venues around the country; his views on the need to update facilities at many of the country's larger GAA stadia; if he has had talks with the GAA on this issue; and if he will make a statement on the matter....

Sports Capital Programme. (31 May 2006)

Jack Wall: I welcome the Minister's statement on the GAA grounds. He might want to check the record to ascertain whether St. Conleth's Park was included. Although it was not the Minister's fault, I understand it was not included and that the funding was not drawn down on that occasion. The thinking behind this question relates to the major demand for funding at Semple Stadium and Fitzgerald Stadium....

Sports Capital Programme. (31 May 2006)

Jack Wall: What will happen if there is a new proposal?

National Stadium. (31 May 2006)

Jack Wall: Recently I visited one the of the residents groups in respect of its objections to the proposal. I thank the Minister for information on liaising with the residents group with a view to overcoming its problems. Obviously it will not be possible to overcome the concerns of residents if the development proceeds because the stadium will overlook the houses and nothing can change that. Given that...

Sports Facilities. (31 May 2006)

Jack Wall: The idea behind ground sharing by clubs is something I believe in. Given the overall costs of maintaining a stadium and so on, that is logical. I presume that when the Minister speaks of Tallaght, he also speaks of a club-sharing facility there. With regard to the newspaper reports on the two clubs and a decision on a new venue, if agreement cannot be reached, will that affect either of the...

National Cultural Institutions. (31 May 2006)

Jack Wall: With regard to the overall aspect of the renovation, storage will clearly be needed for art objects in the National Gallery. Certain paintings are on loan to Members who have them hanging in their offices. Considering time is on the Minister's side, is it possible that some of these paintings can be leased to local authorities so they can be seen around the country rather than just in the...

Greyhound Racing Industry. (31 May 2006)

Jack Wall: If we had got all the answers to Priority Questions Nos. 9 and 10, we would not have to deal with these questions. When the Attorney General informed the Minister that due process must take place and the report must be sent to those involved, did he give a timeframe? Did he inform the Minister at what stage could the report then be released?

Ryder Cup. (31 May 2006)

Jack Wall: Question 25: To ask the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism if his attention has been drawn to recent comments from the chief executive of Tourism Ireland that any attempts to rip off visitors during the Ryder Cup will do long-term damage to the tourism industry here; the efforts he is making to ensure that visitors to this country are not exploited financially during the period of the Ryder...

Ryder Cup. (31 May 2006)

Jack Wall: I could not disagree more with the Minister on the matter of designation of the Ryder Cup for free-to-air transmission on television. It was an unbelievable error not to include the event and not to ensure that it would be seen on national television channels because those in Ireland involved in general tourism during the event will not have that facility if they are situated in an area...
