I have mentioned schools, disabilities and minorities. I have mentioned two of the minorities who will be in the community soon. One group is already there and another group will be there soon. I can draw a line from Abbeyleix to Mountrath and the part of the county south of that line is without a sports hall. There is a need there. I am trying to be careful not to put our guests on the spot but the Minister for Education said yesterday that her Department is open to a collaborative project. In other words, if the Department of Education cannot come up with the pounds, shillings and pence, other organisations or Departments might be able to. Is there discussion in the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media of such collaborative projects in the next round and is there funding for that?
