- Tourism Industry. (1 Mar 2006)
Jimmy Deenihan: I thank the Minister for his reply and emphasise again the need to put the recommendations of the PWC and Travers reports in place as soon as possible. The Minister will agree there is no major divide between east and west in the area of tourism. The number of people taking pure holiday tourism is at a standstill, the growth rate of which was just 2% last year. These are the people who would...

- Sports Facilities. (1 Mar 2006)
Jimmy Deenihan: I am sure the Minister will agree that the audit of sporting facilities is important for the future direction of sporting policy here. It may determine how moneys are spent in the future. The audit will reveal that vast areas do not have adequate sporting facilities. The provision of such facilities is not balanced throughout the regions. Over the past ten years, the investment of national...
- Sports Facilities. (1 Mar 2006)
Jimmy Deenihan: I am not denying that, but some areas are getting more than others.

- Sports Facilities. (1 Mar 2006)
Jimmy Deenihan: Surely that would not really constitute a thorough audit of this country's sporting facilities. It is critically important that all such facilities, including the facilities I have mentioned like walkways and canals, should be covered by a broad audit. Will there be an audit of the sporting facilities in our primary and post-primary schools? I recently completed a survey of all the primary...

- Sports Funding. (1 Mar 2006)
Jimmy Deenihan: The Minister will be aware of the Oireachtas committee report on volunteerism which quantified the value of volunteers to the country. If they were to be replaced, it would cost the Exchequer approximately â¬250 million. That must make the case for additional funding. There is a great deal of burn-out among volunteers. People are getting frustrated because it is costing them a great deal of...
- National Stadium. (1 Mar 2006)
Jimmy Deenihan: I am sure the Minister would agree that the company he has appointed to provide the new stadium should have reached agreement with Wanderers Football Club before it started planning. That would be a matter of courtesy. As we all recognise in the House, Wanderers is one of the oldest rugby clubs in Ireland. Its clubhouse is a feature of Lansdowne Road and a major attraction. It is very much...
