Ms Katherine Licken:

The sports capital programme has delivered more than 13,000 projects since it began in 1998, to the tune of €1 billion. Our business is to try to get the money out to the clubs for the betterment of communities. That is what we do. Every time there is a round of the sports capital programme, Mr. Ó Lionáin and the team review to see how it worked and what did or did not go well. All of this is done with a view to finding what works for communities and clubs in order to get good infrastructure out to them. We will continue that.
