Ms Carney touched on the Irish women's soccer team, which we are looking forward to kicking off next month. There will be a lot of hoopla around that, with politicians wanting to get their pictures taken and all of that. The Minister of State responsible for sport was in my home town of Navan last week. We visited a number of soccer clubs which are looking for money for development. He asked them all about their participation levels in girls' soccer and their access to those pitches. He said not to talk to him if they cannot answer those. That stick approach is probably what is needed with regard to culture change. For everyone here today, the main theme is culture change too. I would be interested in whether the stick approach is something that people favour. I thank witnesses for their engagement today. I thank the Chair.
