‹ Order of Business Olympics review and funding debate
Summary
Jerry Buttimer asks for a review of the 2012 Olympics and Paralympics and a debate on future funding. The Ceann Comhairle rules the matter outside the Order of Business, while the Taoiseach says it has already been addressed.

The Deputy should have a chat with the Whip. We are straying now. Please Taoiseach, we could set a precedent here, were we to review the Olympics. I call Deputy O'Dea.
