- Other Questions (28 Apr 2009)
John O'Mahony: The principle of the grants should be maintained. As Deputy Upton stated, whatever percentage cut comes with other areas should be applied. My understanding was that it was not ring-fenced but that there was an instruction from the Minister's predecessor, Mr. Brennan, to find the money within the budget. The reason I put the question today is to urge the Minister to do the same within the...

- Grant Payments. (28 Apr 2009)
John O'Mahony: I was hoping the Minister would say the grants would be funded or even reduced by a certain percentage. I thank the Minister for his assurance that the Irish Sports Council will make a decision shortly. Is that correct?
- Grant Payments. (28 Apr 2009)
John O'Mahony: I think the Minister will agree that the grants were instituted by his predecessor, who saw the need for them. Gaelic players have spoken to Deputies and other people who are involved. They are anxious but very reasonable in their approach. They would be willing to accept cuts similar to those applying in other areas of sport. High performance athletes are losing their jobs or are unable...

- Olympic Games. (28 Apr 2009)
John O'Mahony: I take it from the Minister's reply that most of the potential is in the tourism and cultural area rather than in the provision of training facilities for teams.
- Olympic Games. (28 Apr 2009)
John O'Mahony: The focus of my question was on the availability of sports facilities in Ireland. We have the National Aquatic Centre, but teams who train there do not have campus style accommodation as they might find in other centres. I am reminded of an answer given by the Minister last year on the development of sports facilities at Abbotstown. Can we take it that high performance facilities will not...
- Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund Regulations 2009: Motion (9 Apr 2009)
John O'Mahony: I wish to share time with Deputies Deenihan and Barrett. I would like to put on the record of the House, as articulated by Deputy Olivia Mitchell, Fine Gael's support for the horse and greyhound industry which provides 30,000 jobs and deserves funding and support. I am aware it has received more than â¬500 million in funding in this decade alone. My concern arises from a response to a...
