We will do that. The sports capital programme was looked at by the last Committee of Public Accounts. The most interesting point made was that there was no sunset clause. I do not know if there is one now. The issue was that grants were approved, the officers of organisations changed and projects never proceeded. The Department had no mechanism in place for taking back money and it was very slow in going back, say, after three years to ask if organisations were going to complete projects. It is important that if they are not proceeding, that we get back the money allocated.
