I was intrigued by the Minister's mention of the details of consultations that had been undertaken subsequent to the passing of the 1999 Act. He said: "Arising from that process it became clear that the designation of sports events was a complex matter and that the main sporting organisations were opposed to their events being designated." This sentence is followed by a full stop and a new paragraph which begins, "Shortly after my appointment". There is a whole hiatus of history between the full stop after "designated" and "Shortly after my appointment". There is literally nothing in between. The Government of the day sat there and did nothing until the FAI did a deal with Sky Sports and the roof caved in. That is not good enough. The House was lectured yesterday about the complex and difficult work of Government which necessitated changes in the Freedom of Information Act. In this case, it was pushed to one side because it was complex and difficult.
