67. Deputy Kevin O'Keeffe asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if his attention has been drawn to the fact that medal hauls from other countries with similar populations are misleading because they do not take into account the significant levels of funding underpinning high performance programmes in those countries; his views on whether Ireland's medal targets at major events will remain aspirational unless there is a wider conversation on the need to fund elite programmes on a level with our competitors; if the Government is engaging on such matters with the national governing bodies; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
