I was interrupted by a number of people but I am getting there. Senator McDowell has been exercised by the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Ross, a lot today. The Minister has done a very good job in showing the inadequacy of the FAI, and the Senator should give him credit for that. What the Minister is actually doing, which is quite right, is diverting money from the FAI and channelling it to the grassroots, where it is needed.
