The Deputy's point is substantially well made. The first round of speakers have put their questions. We will have some supplementary questions shortly, but I first want to ask about local sports grants. Perhaps the witnesses can give the committee a breakdown county by county of grants, between public bodies and the voluntary community sporting organisations. There was a time they would all go to public bodies but now an increasing amount of a county's allocation seems to be going to local authorities to enable them to do work, which is also good. I would appreciate the breakdown, however, county by county.

The Department might also supply the committee with a breakdown of the funding for the Olympic Council of Ireland for 2014 to 2017, inclusive. Will the witnesses indicate the Department's satisfaction with spending by the Olympic Council of Ireland given the funds provided to it by the Department? Please start with the figures.
