Shane Curley (Fianna Fail)

Before I invite the Minister of State to respond, I congratulate Councillor Brendan Mulroy and his guests from the Jester Bar in Westport whose Relay for Life group has raised vital funds for the Irish Cancer Society. Councillor Mulroy also asked me to wish the best of luck to Kilmeena GAA club which is playing in the intermediate football final this weekend. I now invite the Minister of State to respond.
