My understanding is that in recent years sports capital grants to clubs and communities have been based on a points system whereby more points were awarded based on more clubs and organisations using the facility. That was a welcome move at the time. Has that been an incentive if a club is looking for a grant and can point to hockey and other sports using it? I am conscious about what Senator Mark Daly said about the GAA. Many barriers have been broken down in recent years, although not all of them.
