We are involved in establishing a bid board with the British Government and the respective football associations. We have increased the budgetary allocation for major events year on year, and approximately €500,000 has been spent to date. I will confirm that later in the meeting. As part of the bidding process, there will be an assessment of the required stadia in Ireland. On a separate note, as the Minister indicated, we are committed in the NDP to increased investment for large sporting infrastructure as part of the large-scale sports infrastructure fund.
