On the question on insurance, action 4.5 of the sport action plan details six-monthly ministerial presentations to the Cabinet sub-committee on insurance reform. Match fixing and corruption are a threat to all sports at all levels and they undermine public confidence in the fairness of sport. We are a sport loving nation and we have an inherent understanding of the need for fairness, honesty and good sportsmanship at all levels in our sporting codes. Not only that but as An Garda Síochána points out, match fixing can allow organised crime to infiltrate sport in order to use it to make illicit gains or launder the proceeds of crime. On the specific question the Deputy asked, there is a live investigation which began in 2019. In this case the FAI and UEFA reported their suspicions to the Garda around some League of Ireland matches and I commend the FAI on its zero tolerance approach to such behaviour. It is vital that all sports remain vigilant of any suspicious activity which could bring their sports into disrepute. There is an ongoing investigation so I cannot comment beyond that.
