Brendan Kenneally (Fianna Fail)

I welcome my good friend the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism, Deputy O'Donoghue, back to the House. I am glad of the opportunity to participate in the debate. It would be impossible to speak about sporting facilities in Ireland without raising the vexed question of Croke Park. I am not going to tell the GAA what it should or should not do — that is not my business — but, like most, I have a view on it and am as entitled to my opinion as anybody else. My view is that Croke Park should be opened up. I know the Cathaoirleach would disagree with me on that but we will have to agree to disagree.
