I have a few questions, the first of which is to the Minister of State. I concur with much of what has been said about funding, particularly regarding the sports capital grants, which are making a significant difference in many parishes, small towns and rural villages. The Minister of State has made great efforts and gone to great lengths in promoting gender equality, not just in the membership of boards but in respect of the facilities provided and ensuring all of that is neatly woven into the guidelines when clubs are applying for funding. The feedback I receive from clubs shows this is making a difference. Separate dressing rooms are one example of facilities we might take for granted or assume are already there. Will the Minister of State outline any review he has done or policy he is introducing in this regard?
