Written Answers. - National Stadium.

  333. Ms Burton asked the Minister for Finance if, due to previous dealings in relation to the establishment of Campus and Stadium Ireland Development Limited and the holding and transferring of its shares which are at present vulnerable to legal challenge, questions arise in relation either to any other dealings by Ministers in the formation of private companies for public purposes or to the general exercise by Ministers of their contractual capacity; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10500/06]

  Mr. Cowen: The specific question regarding Campus Stadium Ireland Limited is a matter for the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism. In relation to other companies, if the Deputy has a particular query, I suggest that the matter be addressed to the relevant Minister. As regards financial matters, funds allocated to a specific purpose are given under either the relevant Vote or under specific legislation.
