Mr. John Treacy:

To add to that answer, we fund governing bodies of sport. As part of that funding programme, if they have an event during the course of the year they will apply to us for funding. Many of those organisations are small, so we might provide 50% of funding, which may be only €5,000 or €10,000.

As Mr. Galvin said, the new National Indoor Arena opens up a whole world of indoor sports that we can host. As regards the cross-country track at the National Sports Campus, Athletics Ireland is going to bid for the European championships in 2020. In addition, Sport Ireland is funding the Irish Open golf tournament, which is strategically a very important event for the country. Golf is an important sport. We also walk hand in hand with Fáilte Ireland to bring events to Ireland. We have an ongoing dialogue with them, so there are things we can do together. If Fáilte Ireland is coming in with major money for an event, we leave them at it, but we tend to look after funding smaller sports.
