Sport: Statements
I have referred to the sports capital programme and the national swimming pool programme and my views are clear. For more than 100 years the GAA has been one of the greatest sporting organisations in the country. The investment of €113 million of taxpayers' money into Croke Park is reaping significant dividends for the nation and for every county. It is unfortunate that neither Mayo nor Donegal won any medals there this year but we live in hope for next year. I attended the Donegal county final which was played on Sunday in Ballybofey. One of the all-time great footballers, Michael Murphy, scored 1-7 for his club and they won 1-8 to 9 points against a very good St. Michael's team.
