I will try to be brief. This will be useful information. Having been in a county in which the Ryder Cup was held, I know it can have benefits both when the event is being held and afterwards. I just want to say that. It would be useful for us to get a schedule of meetings, the minutes and information on the resources and budget. Is there a role for Golf Ireland? It does not look like there is one. As part of this, is there a proposal for some kind of upgrading of Shannon Airport? In Kildare, we saw that things were upgraded as a consequence of the Ryder Cup coming to the county. The Department might also let us know if other events are tied to this. For example, the Walker Cup is coming. I only found that out the other day. Are there other events tied to this and being funded as a consequence of having the Ryder Cup held there?
