I thank the Deputy for her comments. As I said, I take these matters extremely seriously. We have sent a very strong message around trying, first of all, to follow through in the first thing that was asked of us, which was to seek a meeting with the IRFU. We will have that meeting to reflect fully what was said by the players and to reflect all the issues. It is important that I have my engagement with the players and the IRFU in the first instance and I do not pre-empt the discussions that will take place. In all of the actions I have taken across many areas of policy, the Deputy will see the seriousness with which we take our sport action plan, with the focus on the dedicated funding increase, and our overall women in sport policy. She will see there is a focus on achieving progress in this area. As I said, I am very clear in trying to make progress across many areas of policy.
