Cecilia Keaveney (Fianna Fail)

I wish to raise with the Minister the issue of opinion and suspicion. Although we are dealing with national legislation, international elements of corruption have been evident recently. The "Panorama" programme on Monday considered allegations against FIFA officials and issues of match-fixing. Court cases have also been taken against people in Germany. I know this legislation is targeted specifically to the national scene but I would like the Minister's opinion on whether our national legislation is strong enough to cope with international attacks in sport. I hate the phrase "whistleblower" but if people want to come forward, I understand the need to protect and encourage people in doing so.
