Written answers

Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism (Deputy Séamus Brennan)

While I have a keen interest in Eircom League football and in particular, the role it plays in encouraging participation in sport at local level, I did not have the opportunity to attend an Eircom League of Ireland match in the relatively short period between my appointment as Minister and the end of the season in November 2007.

I hope to be in a position to attend some matches during the new season starting in early March.
