I welcome Mr. O'Neill and Mr. Duffy and thank them for their very informative presentation. Many of us would not be as aware of the extent of the international presence of the GAA. Have the witnesses ever approached a television station to broadcast information on what is happening abroad, because it would be an extremely interesting programme? It could perhaps show matches or snippets of matches that have taken place, especially the more high profile matches.

Do the civic authorities abroad fund or assist the work of the GAA? I presume they would in New York. Internationally, do they recognise the contribution the GAA makes to their communities? How self-sufficient are the clubs currently? Does the GAA have to supplement the activities, including the games and the extracurricular activities of the clubs abroad? What is the level of self-sufficiency? I can fully understand it contributing to the development of those clubs but does it have to contribute to the running, organisation and management of the clubs?
