This is similar to the work we did with Sport Ireland. We compiled a body of work and presented that to the Ministers when they came in. Could we do something similar with these submissions so that we can try to get feedback to what people are putting forward and so that today is not open-ended? I have an observation on the briefing document that Ms Kelleher provided to us. She equated musical societies and so on to being the musical equivalent to the power of the GAA in every community. There is a natural amateur base to support a professional base and to give credence to the calls that the witnesses have made today. It was an excellent observation.
