Before the clock starts, we can see that we have a Dermot Gallagher in the chair. I do not have much chance with leverage and, therefore, I ask the witnesses for rapid responses to my questions.

I would like a quick comment on the statement made today by the Irish Bookmakers Association, as we are discussing the future of sports broadcasting. It has said that the new gambling Bill in Ireland, in the first instance, will possibly block English Premier League matches from being broadcast live here. From the point of view of the FAI and the IRFU in particular, have they reviewed this, and are there implications for the FAI and IRFU for events such as European football or United Rugby Championship, URC, matches as a result of the gambling Bill?
