Mr. John Treacy:

Part of the keep well campaign will be about lighting up and working with sporting organisations. That will be a big part of the walking campaign. Funding will be set aside to help the LSPs get off the ground with local clubs as well. That will be done.

Our message on people working from home is for them to make an appointment with themselves to get out for half an hour if they can at lunchtime if it will be dark when they are finished work. That is a really important point. We have a lot of programmes online that they can avail of.

Clubs did avail of the Government funding scheme. The full allocation was made to clubs around the country. The LSPs rolled out €2 million to smaller local clubs around the country as well. That was very well received. Many of the small community clubs would have benefited as well, which would not perhaps be attached to a national governing body. They got support.

In terms of the benefits of watching sport on television during the winter months, it is good for our well-being, but we must make sure we balance it with physical activity as well. That is really important.
