Ruairí Quinn Mr. Quinn Labour Party

The Minister for Education is the senior Minister in his Department with overall responsibility for sport. Can he say if the Government think that the Sports Council. Cospóir, have informed views on this matter and does he not think it worth while for the Government to seek the view of Cospóir in this matter?

The Minister does not consider. It is not an appropriate matter for Cospóir. It is simply a matter for the Irish Olympic Council.
