- Departmental Agencies. (19 Nov 2008)
Olivia Mitchell: ââ-in saying he should not be afraid to tackle the issue. However, the issue should be tackled after he has done the analysis on whether there will be savings and increased efficiencies, and what must be spent in order to achieve those outcomes. The reality is that all those organisations are completely under-funded, particularly in terms of the structures they occupy. They are at the...

Olivia Mitchell: Can the Minister give the House details of that?
- Departmental Agencies. (19 Nov 2008)
Olivia Mitchell: I would be very interested to hear the details. Is it a location that will be acceptable to the National Archives? Is it a new purpose-built facility that will provide the necessary temperature controls, fire and water requirements and so on?

Olivia Mitchell: The major investment of phase 1 of the development of the sports campus was announced three times by the Minister and his predecessor. As recently as July the Minister visited the sports campus and said he looked forward to the development being ready to train our athletes for the 2012 Olympics. Can the Minister clarify if this investment is going ahead and will it be ready to train...
- National Sports Campus. (19 Nov 2008)
Olivia Mitchell: The Minister can confine himself to the questions I have asked. How much does the entire holding cost to maintain, supervise and insure annually? Is the phase 1 investment even going ahead, much less phase 2? The stadium seems to have gone into netherland.
- National Sports Campus. (19 Nov 2008)
Olivia Mitchell: There is â¬2 million in the capital budget. Can the Minister tell me what that will be spent on? Is it for more offices?
- Sports Funding. (19 Nov 2008)
Olivia Mitchell: I agree the University of Limerick has a wonderful facility, which has been successful as far as it goes. For that reason, it is a venue that is worth further investment. However, what is the point in having a report such as the Indecon report and doing nothing on foot of it? The next Olympic Games are to be held in 2012 and teams are now booking where they will train.
- Sports Funding. (19 Nov 2008)
Olivia Mitchell: The Minister said he had already had inquiries about Abbottstown. Decisions will be made in the next year or two about where teams will go and they will not book into a place that has not yet been built. Therefore, it is time for the Minister to make up his mind. Has there, for example, been a response to the University of Limerick proposal for the project that would cost â¬28 million,...

Olivia Mitchell: Why not? This was announced two years ago.
- Sports Funding. (19 Nov 2008)
Olivia Mitchell: That is because it is being built by the private sector. However, where we must depend on the Minister to make a decision, projects are not happening.
- Sports Capital Programme. (19 Nov 2008)
Olivia Mitchell: I thank the Minister for his reply. I understand the Minister has informed various organisations that there will be no new capital sports grant scheme this year. Precious little will happen in Abbotstown, I understand there will be no new swimming pool programme this year and obviously, there will be no money for the universities' sports capital programme either. The Minister's own...
