The most important subhead is under B5, Sport Ireland. I welcome the money for the "high-octane" sports, for want of a better phrase, but what about minority sports and women's sports? I am thinking in particular of the hockey team. Will there be money available for it? The committee members would, I think, like to see more funding provided to minority sports and women's sports, such as hockey, rowing, karate etc.
