Ms Katherine Licken:

As Mr. Ó Lionáin alluded to earlier, Sport Ireland is looking at developing a paper as to what the infrastructure gaps are across the country. That will then provide us with an opportunity to liaise with the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage and the Department of Rural and Community Development as to what the trends are going forward in terms of population growth and build-out in areas that would help in turn inform any new rounds of grant funding. Certainly, the review of the last sports capital, as I said earlier, has recommended we take account of population growth, so that is certainly something we are looking at. Mr. Ó Lionáin may correct me on this, but for the previous round of sports capital we took the Pobal deprivation index as a measure to see if we could account for disadvantage in communities and providing facilities, and not just if the facility might be based in an area of affluence but might be serving a community beyond that area that is not so affluent or is disadvantaged. I do not know if Mr. Ó Lionáin wants to elaborate on that. I think the Deputy's points are very well made.
