One of the areas in which we have leverage is the sports capital programme. It is critically important, however, that we ensure that the people who are affected by our actions are the people whom we need to affect, rather than those who would ultimately become victims - the people on the ground, the grassroots members who want to play and participate in sports and the volunteers who facilitate that. That is why we need to be very targeted in what we do. As we know, the specifics about which we are talking only came to light recently. I believe we have acted accordingly.
