In the future, we might look at a recommendation from this committee in relation to that role, because there is that gap and I think everyone sees it now.

My second question relates to the recent FAI report in relation to future development. It is a very interesting report and I think it is quite a good report as regards setting out the lack of investment, particularly at a grassroots level, as well as dealing with other stuff that needs to be dealt with. What is the view of Sport Ireland on the report? I know that €863 million is a lot of money. In fairness, though, it is over a longer period of time. I have a real issue with the lack of facilities on the ground for many soccer and football clubs around the country. What are the representatives' initial thoughts on that?
