Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

Senator White made the point that there is too much emphasis on academic matters and not enough on sports. She called for a national sports campus. The Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism, Deputy O'Donoghue, announced yesterday that the plans for the campus will be published within a few weeks.

Senator Ross declared himself dazzled by Senator White's erudition. He is not lacking in that department either. I do not know the poem from which Senator Ross quoted but he called for a debate on Aer Rianta with the Taoiseach. I will not ask the Taoiseach to come to the House to answer questions on this matter.
