The Special Olympics World Summer Games is a major event in Ireland's 2003 calendar. A recent update on progress made with the preparations for the games, based on information provided by the organisers, is available in the Official Report of 22 October last. Reference was also made to the national Community Games. The question of the provision of venues for sports events is a matter in the first instance for the sports organisations concerned. Notwithstanding this, in my previous portfolio as Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, I met representatives of the national Community Games and assured them that my then Department helped to facilitate arrangements for the continued availability of Mosney camp for the national finals. I was very pleased to attend the 2002 national finals at Mosney.
