I hate to take issue with the Minister of State in her first full week in the post, and I appreciate the matter is not the responsibility of her Department, but her final two paragraphs are completely contradictory and at variance with one another. It is not business as usual and there is no sports capital programme for 2009 or 2010. The Minister of State stated that new rounds have not been approved but that it is business as usual. The money announced today was allocated prior to 2009. My question was, and still is, when the money will be sanctioned in the sports capital programme. When will we have a review of the audit that is being conducted in perpetuity? Where has the money from the national lottery gone? The Minister, Deputy Brian Lenihan-----
