I am keen to have a regional focus as well. We see that with the Ryder Cup but there are other opportunities as well. It will not all be in Dublin. Dublin has obvious advantages in terms of the stadiums there but there is room for regional focus, as well as a focus on wider participation in sports and reaching our targets of having 60% of the population physically active or participating. Using these major events to encourage that is important.
