Vote 33 - Culture, Communications and Sport (Revised) (15 Jul 2025)

Alan Kelly: I just want to let the Minister know there is messaging out there that people do not understand that. I would have had a question on it too.

Alan Kelly: Agreed. I have a couple of quick questions from the Minister of State, Deputy McConalogue. GAA integration is obviously a topic that this committee wants to discuss.
