Vol. 452 No. 3
115 Mr. Callely asked the Minister for Education the consideration, if any, she has given to making a grant available to afford Ireland the opportunity to make a bid to host the Olympics; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [7862/95]
The question of hosting the Olympic Games in Ireland is a matter for the Olympic Council of Ireland in the first instance.
No request has been received by my Department from the Olympic Council of Ireland to support a campaign to bring the Olympics to Ireland. Should such a request be made it would be given detailed consideration by my Department.
