Darragh O'Brien (Fianna Fail)

I will assist in this regard by proceeding with a freedom of information request at the right time to determine whether any Government party Members have made any representations for any sports clubs or community groups. Senator D'Arcy should note that there is nothing wrong with this approach. What if he sees value in a project in County Wexford, for example, one relating to the Wexford Opera House or Wexford Youths Football Club? In my case, a proposal was made relating to the cricket grounds in Malahide. Malahide now has the only international ground in Ireland thanks to the sports capital grant. We will play the first game on it in June this year. To be serious, a €500,000 capital sports grant means the money would stay within the community and 15,000 people can attend international cricket games in Malahide. However, there are further knock-on effects of such investments in the community.
