I thank all the groups. There have been very interesting presentations from everybody. I acknowledge to the groups that, in my experience and from what I see day-in, day-out, there is a real effort and commitment to improving female participation in various sports. I was at Sport Ireland which had a presentation on participation and young people. It was a very wide report.
The FAI has done fantastic work on female participation. Being out in Tallaght and being a Shamrock Rovers supporter, the buzz around women's football is absolutely fantastic. It is great. What capital programmes are in place for grassroots football and for League of Ireland football to ensure modern facilities are being put in place for female players?
