Brian Ó Domhnaill (Fianna Fail)

I wish to raise two issues. I have raised the issue of the 2012 London Olympic Games on a number of occasions, in particular with reference to the opportunities which these games will provide to Ireland. I refer to the siting of training camps and facilities in this country as London is only about 30 minutes flying time from Ireland. I ask that the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism be invited to the House to discuss this matter and to provide Senators with an update on the work of the committee of the Irish Sports Council and its recommendations to the Department in terms of how Ireland could capitalise on this event.

I refer to an issue raised by Senator Leyden, namely, the attacks on the Taoiseach. This is an issue which Senator Regan raises every day he speaks in the House. It seems that Fine Gael has lost confidence in the Mahon tribunal.
