Olympic Games. (26 Jan 2006)

Jimmy Deenihan: I am asking questions in response to what the Minister said. The rules should be applied fairly to everyone.

I do not know why the question was rejected by the Ceann Comhairle's office but I will take this opportunity to ask the...

National Sports Stadium. (26 Jan 2006)

Jimmy Deenihan: With regard to the National Aquatic Centre at Campus Stadium Ireland, has a structural report been prepared on the reported defects of the building? A structural review was carried out on the part of the building damaged by storm in early 2005, and at the time I called for a structural report on the entire building. Has that been carried out and have defects been identified? If so, have they...

National Sports Stadium. (26 Jan 2006)

Hospital Staff. (26 Jan 2006)

Jimmy Deenihan: I thank the Ceann Comhairle for allowing me to raise this matter on the Adjournment this afternoon. This is not the first time I have raised on the Adjournment the issue of nursing shortages experienced at Kerry General Hospital. Almost eight months ago I warned the Minister that Kerry General Hospital was so under-resourced and understaffed that it could not conceivably continue to deliver...

Tourism Promotion. (26 Jan 2006)

Jimmy Deenihan: Will the Minister ensure that the Ryder Cup will be free-to-air for Irish viewers? I understand the promoters have reached an agreement with Sky television whereby the latter will have the sole rights to broadcast the competition. RTE, meanwhile, can show only delayed highlights. This is simply not good enough for the vast majority of Irish golf enthusiasts, including many young people. Only...

Tourism Promotion. (26 Jan 2006)

Jimmy Deenihan: Did the Minister make a submission from his Department declaring his support for having this event free-to-air for the Irish audience? He has taken similar actions in the past in regard to the effect of section 481 on the film industry. Does the Minister have information on the position of RTE, which I understand made a submission? What is its view on the prospect of providing only delayed...

Sports Capital Programme. (26 Jan 2006)

Jimmy Deenihan: Given that the Department of Education and Science gave a low priority to the provision of sports halls at primary and second levels and that the Minister's predecessor advised schools that they should turn their general purpose rooms into classrooms when a problem with accommodation arose, I appeal to the Minister to ensure that any application which includes the provision of a sports hall...
