Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (Supplementary) (5 Dec 2018) Ruth Coppinger: This is obviously an area of interest for all of us. We need to interrogate this further. None of us here has to hand the figures of the routes being spoken of and we cannot really get into this. We need to get those figures. We need to have the NTA in and have the union representatives in. The Minister claims that these are not profitable routes. My understanding is that those buses...

Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (Supplementary) (5 Dec 2018) Ruth Coppinger: Yes. We need to get the figures first. The point being made is that a cost-benefit analysis was not done in this regard before deciding to put them out to tender. We need to interrogate the claim that it will benefit consumers. Is the Minister saying the prices will go down? Generally, what happens is that routes that are not so well populated lose out and that is not of benefit to the...

- Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (Supplementary) (5 Dec 2018) Ruth Coppinger: The thing that stood out here was the fact that €1.2 million was being allocated to Sport Ireland, of which €750,000 was going to the Irish Open golf, in comparison to €100,000 going to Paralympics Ireland and €150,000 for the entire Women in Sport programme. Golf is a very wealthy sport so why does it need such a subsidy? The Irish Open was sponsored by Dubai...

Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (Supplementary) (5 Dec 2018) Ruth Coppinger: I was not querying the position regarding Paralympics Ireland but I drew a contrast between the amount of money allocated to Irish Open golf and the fact that the entire Women in Sport programme gets one fifth of that. I know it brings in tourists and I am not averse to golf because people like it, but there is massive prize money for this competition. Are we going to subsidise something...

Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (Supplementary) (5 Dec 2018) Ruth Coppinger: I understand the fact that Sport Ireland makes the decisions but we are sitting here endorsing that decision by allocating the funds so we are entitled to question it.
