The pilot could be based on who wins the all-Ireland this year. That might be a way to decide. I thank the witnesses for coming in. I appreciate their time and efforts. I will be quick because other speakers wish to contribute. Regarding the sports capital programme, which is a major programme of funding for sport, do the witnesses believe there is a role for what they are trying to achieve in that context? Is there scope to incorporate the SOC principle into the sports capital programme? Notably, the most recent programme is being reviewed. Will the witnesses’ organisations be feeding input regarding the workings of the programme into that process? Would that be helpful?

One of the biggest scourges in sport in Ireland now is the involvement of gambling and gambling money. Is there scope to help there through the use of this model? Is there enough leeway in the national sports policy to incorporate what the witnesses are trying to do?
