Maria Byrne (FG), Agricultural Panel

I thank the Deputy Leader for being here today. I will highlight an initiative launched in Limerick last Tuesday that is to do with the fact that the Ryder Cup is coming to Limerick next year. A company called Golf Limerick has been set up. It is the seven golf courses, including the municipal golf course above in Rathbane, coming together. Where people are coming to Limerick and the mid-west region, and to Ireland in general because people will stay all over the place when they are attending the Ryder Cup, they will be able to access the golf courses and there will be a lot of joined-up thinking. It is about the different courses working together to promote the sport of golf. I see, certainly in Limerick, that a lot of young people have taken up golf in recent times in anticipation of the Ryder Cup coming. It is wonderful to see young people getting involved in sport because sport is something that we all have an interest in. I believe that this coming together and collaboration between the golf clubs will be a success story and will encourage more people to come out and play the sport of golf.
