Mr. John Treacy:

I firmly believe if we had a velodrome on the campus we would be producing Olympic medals without a shadow of a doubt. Our plans are advanced and hopefully it will be the next development that will occur.

On women in sport, we will be pushing to increase the number of women participating in sport. The number is narrowing all the time but a big factor is losing women's participation when they reach the age of 15 or 16. It is the same throughout every country and we then try to get them back participating. As people get older, more women than men participate in sport. That is why we encourage men over the age of 45 to participate. We would like to see there being no gender gap.
