Sport: Statements
I have seen clearly what investment in sport means for a city. We all know there are challenges for young people when it comes to sport, with competition from computer games and a fall-off in volunteering. I saw at first-hand, however, when I travelled through Dublin during the Seanad elections the GAA pitches that were full to capacity, with three and four games going on at one time. It did not matter what part of the city I was in, north, south, east or west. It made me shiver when I saw how much work we have to do where I am from, but we are on the right track now.
