Sport Ireland Bill 2014: Second Stage (24 Sep 2014)

Timmy Dooley: I thank the Minister for his explanation of the Bill and general outline of the Government's position on sport. We will support the Bill, although there is nothing particularly exciting or new in it. It is bringing together two organisations that one could argue have the capacity to work closely together. It seems that much of this amalgamation is grown from a promise by Fine Gael and...
