Ceist:

378 Mr. Lawlor asked the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation if he will assist the organisers of the National Community Games to secure an alternative venue for its sporting and cultural activities (details supplied). [29510/00]

Last week, my colleague, the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, Deputy O'Donoghue, met with representatives of the National Community Games to discuss the possibility of accommodating the games at Mosney. Officials from my Department were also present.

It was agreed that the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform and the directorate of asylum support services will do all in their power to facilitate the community games movement in whatever way possible, with a view to the ESB Community Games taking place in the Mosney Holiday centre next year. It was also agreed that immediate discussions would take place between officers of the community games and officials of the directorate to work out all the necessary details.
