Seanad debates

Thursday, 23 October 2003

I refer to the provision of a national stadium and national sports infrastructure. It is 18 months since Deputy O'Donoghue became the Minister responsible for this issue. He has been promising on almost a monthly basis that a Government decision is imminent, yet none has been reached. The Government is in the farcical position of having paid national sporting organisations to put their stadium plans on hold while failing to reach a conclusion itself. The House debates many issues with which the public does not connect but this is one issue in which the public has an interest and, if the Minister was invited to the House, it would give us an opportunity to send a signal to Government that it should get its finger out.
