It is significant. I have spoken to people in my area. The effect that it has had has been unreal because sporting events play such a part in people's lives, particularly in rural towns. I cannot say how much I appreciate the work everyone has done. I thank Mr. Horan. He has answered all my questions on the roadmap and the protocols. The Minister with responsibility for sport, Deputy Catherine Martin, politicians and all of us are working to ensure that we support and fund sporting organisations in our local areas. We have a significant role to play as politicians to make sure we deliver for our communities to keep the lifeline going so that we are back to normality as soon as possible. I thank the witnesses.
