I really appreciate what everyone has said. I commend Sport Ireland, the FAI, the IRFU, the GAA and all the clubs on all the work that has been done during the pandemic and now. We all accept that the watching and particularly the playing of sport are really useful for connectivity in the community and from a mental health point of view. The only two requests I have is that if a consideration could be made that we could have social distancing in boxing because I think I could make a return if there was a 2 m distance between me and my opponent. Unfortunately Deputy Fitzpatrick has gone but if Mr. John Treacy was able to give me a training programme that would mean I could beat him when eventually we get back to 5 km and 10 km races in Dundalk, I would be very happy with that.
