Can I ask a question briefly on that? National federations in other countries appear to focus on particular sports for high performance. For example in the UK, the national wheelchair rugby team was ranked sixth in the world. Just before Christmas the total funding was dropped. They are getting zero. I know there is a balance there. I would like to get Mr. McDermott's view on where he sees the balance from an Irish perspective.
