Shane Cassells: I welcome the Minister and the Minister of State. My first question is for the Minister of State. I acknowledge the difference between now and when the Minister of State came before the committee last year with regard to supports to get clubs and associations through. We forget this sometimes. I will ask a number of direct questions. What is the state of play with Euro 2028 and our bid...

Shane Cassells: Like Senator Byrne, I thank the Minister and her officials for the engagement pertaining to the amendment and, indeed, all the work that has been to finesse this and get it to a point where we can see real progress. As Senator Byrne outlined, the essence of the amendment relates to trying to find a balance as to what is going to be taken as strength. I have consistently made the point that...

Shane Cassells: It is great to see Senator Buttimer back in the Leader's chair. It suits him. He looks great. There has been huge reaction in the Chamber today and throughout the sporting pages in respect of the fact that 17-year-old Jake Daniels has come out as the first professional gay football player since Justin Fashanu and only the second in the world. As a 17-year-old he is to be commended. He...

Shane Cassells: Senator Higgins's points are well made and go to a wider point of debate in terms of the value of news, from where we ascertain it and the value put on it by the owners of the broadcasting stations. I refer to the points made by Senator Higgins regarding putting a time limit on the derogation to ensure that, as she stated, the business models are not on the basis of a continuing derogation...

I praise Ms O’Connor in particular for attending this meeting with a series of objectives and asking the...

Shane Cassells: ...Malcolm Byrne, in calling for a debate on higher education funding, including the announcement today by the Government. In welcoming that funding, I want to pay tribute to my uncle, Mr. Peter Cassells, who produced a report six years ago on the under-funding of third level in this country, which had left it in a perilous state. Since Mr. Cassells produced that report, we have seen an...

Their biggest...
