Seanad debates

Thursday, 27 November 2003

Address by Ms Dana Rosemary Scallon, MEP.

 

I chose as my first committee the Committee for Regional Policy, Transport and Tourism. I considered that these were particular needs for my region of Connacht-Ulster. It is acknowledged that there has been a huge problem of under-investment in the Connacht-Ulster region and I considered these areas to be a priority. I also attend, as a substitute committee, the Committee on Culture, Youth, Education, the Media and Sport. We do not have a competence for sport and I am not very good at it, but we are moving towards education through sport. A base is gradually being built for some kind of competence in this area. I consider that the two committees dovetail. They meet basically at the same time and on the same days. I am sure Members sometimes face the same problem here.
