Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (Supplementary) (5 Dec 2018) Robert Troy: I have a question about maritime administration.

Has the Minister set a timeline for the officials to ensure each of those recommendations is implemented?

Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (Supplementary) (5 Dec 2018) Robert Troy: I agree with what Deputy Coppinger said.

What percentage of the overall sports expenditure is geared to women in sport? I would hate the perception to go out from this committee that...

Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (Supplementary) (5 Dec 2018) Robert Troy: I concur with Deputy Coppinger.

That is why I was using the example of the percentage of this year's overall expenditure being spent by the Department on the latter programme. This is IAA funding. As the Minister...

Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (Supplementary) (5 Dec 2018) Robert Troy: I welcome the additional funding that is being allocated.

It is a little bit outside what we are talking about here but, in terms of the additional funding secured in the 2019 budget, has the...
