Seanad
‹ Order of Business Sports capital funding
Summary
The Leader said he would welcome a debate on sports capital funding and defended reopening the programme. Senators continued to criticise lobbying for private golf clubs and suggested publishing all lobbying details.
I will be very happy to have a debate on the sports capital programme and we will go through the record entirely. That would be no problem at all. I am quite happy to make representations on behalf of the sporting and community clubs in my area as the Senator does in his.
Comment on this
I am very proud of the fact that my Government reopened the sports capital programme at a time when there was little money in the country.
Comment on this
Perhaps publishing details in respect of all the lobbying would be good.
