Written answers

Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism (Mr. O’Donoghue)

I do not consider that the views expressed by the Office of the Attorney General on the constitutionality of the Prohibition of Ticket Touts Bill 2005, will in any way be revised. I am arranging for officials of my Department to discuss and clarify the various issues involved with the Deputy.
