Mr. Henry spoke about trying to assist youth work in particular. I had the opportunity to visit Lurgan GAA club along with Ms Dolores Kelly, MLA. In addition to the traditional games of football, hurling and handball, a very active youth club is based there and uses those facilities. There has been considerable difficulty in the area over the years. The model that was developed between the GAA club and local youth clubs there provides an exceptionally good resource for young people to participate in youth activities. Perhaps that type of model using existing facilities might be worth considering. The witnesses may be familiar with it.
