On another issue, the programme for Government includes, among many other promises, an undertaking that there would be a nationwide audit of sporting and recreational facilities. I ask the Leader to invite the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism to the House to give Members an update on the audit.

Several organisations and school boards of management have contacted Members in respect of the lack of sporting facilities for young people. While the nationwide audit was promised, the Minister has not delivered on it. Perhaps he will come before the House to provide a progress report, or to indicate when its results will be brought before the Houses of the Oireachtas.

Moreover, Senator O'Toole referred to the matter in respect of the Minister of State at the Department of Transport, Deputy Callely.
