I will focus on the most recent announcement of €20 million being allocated to the GAA as part of a Covid supplementary fund. What proportion of that is allocated to the Ladies' Gaelic Football Association, the Camogie Association or GAA Handball? I would like to hear the Minister of State's thoughts on this. I feel that the one-club model should now become the blueprint for men and women's sports. Has he had any discussion to date with the NGBs associated with these codes? I know certain GAA clubs are adopting a one-club model at present but unless we have unification of men and women under one banner, where decision-making and handling is done at one central committee, there will still be an issue of equality for the women's game.

This is certainly an area on which the Department should focus.
