Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I met the Deputy at Sarsfields grounds after the flooding. The club played a role in helping to alleviate the danger to the town when those horrific floods happened. We went to the Minister of State, Deputy Thomas Byrne, and, in what was an exceptional measure given the impact of the floods in destroying the entire grounds, an allocation to the club of €570,000 was announced some weeks ago. A Supplementary Estimate was formally passed through the House yesterday to enable that grant to be paid, along with others, and an instruction has issued from the Department for the grant to be issued. It will, I hope, be in the bank next Monday or next week. That has now happened.
