- Sports Capital Programme. (17 Dec 2009)
John O'Mahony: It may be. The Minister has just got his present. In his response the Minister stated that more sports means a healthier and happier nation and more jobs. However, we should not forget that the â¬48 million allocated to the sports capital programme is a reduction of 14% on the 2009 allocation. We are almost at the end of 2009. Has the â¬56 million that was allocated for 2009 been spent...

- Sports Capital Programme. (17 Dec 2009)
John O'Mahony: The problem is the sums of â¬56 million and â¬48 million represent the same as the â¬80 million pledged in 2006 and 2007. The Minister took the credit for that amount at that time. I am glad the Minister has given some assurance for 2011, but what is to happen with the swimming pool programme? The Minister mentioned â¬7.5 million. That figure is 40% down on the amount provided in...
- Policy of Inclusion. (17 Dec 2009)
John O'Mahony: My information is that the sports partnerships have been told already that they will receive â¬20,000. They received â¬60,000 under the previous scheme. One would not have to be a rocket scientist to realise the programme will be cut back drastically if funding does not come from somewhere else. Will the Minister commit to ensuring that the disabled and disability officers will not be...

John O'Mahony: The Government has never said it was sorry, that it made mistakes, that it had learned from the errors of its ways and that it would not do it again. In many respects that is the least that would be expected and the least that would be required. However, it has learned something from the mistakes of last year. The budget was a week late. It is passing the Social Welfare and Pensions (No....

John O'Mahony: -----negotiating and announcing sweetheart deals to secure support for this penal budget. This country is either broke or it is not. If it is, where is the money to buy the vote of the wobblers? If not, why cannot those in most need, the blind, the disabled and the carers, have the burden eased? Why did not some of the wavering TDs ask to save the carers and the disabled? At least Deputy...
