I thank Deputy Troy for his questions. I covered the funding side of things. I have not read Louise Galvin's piece yet but I want to see it. I have touched on the issue of schools already. We are trying to see how we can work better with the Department of Education and Skills to see what type of synergy we could get going there in terms of capital provision and how it can benefit wider communities. Programmes such as the Daily Mile are really important. Athletics Ireland has been to the fore of that with Sport Ireland in rolling it out in schools. Things like that are very important. We do not necessarily need major capital investment to see it happening. I would like to see the Daily Mile kicking in here in this institution. It is something we could help to do. It would help to inspire other workplaces to do it as well. We are very good at telling kids they need to be active and doing sport and other things but we are not so good on following through on them ourselves.
