Joe O'Toole (Independent)

Senator Keaveney can make her objections afterwards. I have no difficulty with Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann getting a grant from Government. However, I would like the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs to come to the House and explain it to me. The Government claims it has increased the Vote for Irish when it has taken more than €1 million from the Gaeltacht courses, cúrsaí Gaeilge, while it has given more than €3 million to Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann. That is the only reference I made to Comhaltas. I have no objection whatever to its being supported.
