I presume the Department continues to have interaction with the FAI. It has a repayable grant associated with the stadium that has to be paid. I wish the sport well because it is obviously very important to communities, but does Ms Licken believe it is in a position to stand alone at this stage? The FAI has a very ambitious plan. I was pleased to see that it is thinking about the future but there is an absence of evidence for how it will be funded. Obviously, there are issues concerning the greyhound and horse fund in respect of the source in question.
