Alison Comyn (FF), Nominated by the Taoiseach

I spent last night knocking on doors in Drogheda selling Field of Fortune fundraising tickets because this is the main fundraiser now for completing the 14,000-seater stadium in Dundalk. We need new home county grounds and I am going to ask one more time for funding from the sports capital grant. We are short €7 million, unfortunately. The Minister can see we are on a roll, and this is the type of structure we need to give a team clearly heading towards a major part of the championship. We need to give it a home suitable for champs. Once again, I raise the matter of the sports capital grant for the grassroots and right the way through because with the likes of the wee county doing so incredibly well on a national platform, we need the infrastructure to match it.
