I will take the national arena first. As I said, the sports programme shows a decrease of €18 million to €108 million and this relates to the once-off stimulus funding for the development of the national indoor arena which created that spike in 2016.

We realise the importance of developing it into a full sports facility and we are hopeful that we will be able to provide funds out of that application.
