Absolutely. I am going to jump to Mr. Maguire and Dr. Conama. Dr. Conama was talking about attitudes and the requirement for a change of attitude. In their submission, which got down to practicalities, Dr. Conama and Mr. Maguire said that it is crucial to emphasise the need for accessible sporting facilities that cater to the specific needs of deaf athletes. We are going to be launching the sports capital grants again soon, where many tens of millions of euro will be allocated to sporting facilities in Ireland. From the sports clubs that the Disabled Persons Organisations Network would look at, what is the need for those clubs that are accessing State funding to be more responsive to what the Disabled Persons Organisations Network has had in its submission? Is it facing that challenge as it is? What needs to happen from these sports clubs and should it be tied in as a prerequisite if they are receiving funding? Has the Disabled Persons Organisations Network said this to the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media?
