Mr. Iarlaith ? Broin:

Essentially it does come down to infrastructure for us. That is where the big element of this is. The GAA in many respects has pre-empted the fact that this was going to happen. There are a lot of counties building centres of excellence at the moment. County Longford is one, for example, as well as Carlow, Armagh, Down, Monaghan, Cavan and Cork, just off the top of my head. The GAA routinely gives each of those counties €1 million to help with that. We also have major projects going on in Kildare, Meath, Louth, Waterford - stadiums. Thurles needs a major facelift. Páirc Uí Chaoimh had a major debt. We are spending about €33 million on upgrading Croke Park. All of these situations create an immense number of jobs and an immense benefit and dynamo to the local infrastructure and economy. It is not as if we are coming here with a begging bowl. We already assist our units greatly in their infrastructure needs.

Three is going to become one and I am sure members listened to Mr. Molloy's speech on Saturday when he became camogie president. Camogie is in a situation where in a lot of clubs, if they want to use the premises of the GAA, they have to pay. A lot of GAA hurling clubs, if they do not have a field, they have to pay the local GAA football club to do so. If we are moving away from all of that, there is going to be a great need for extra pitches and facilities. I am not going to put a figure on it. The previous infrastructure chair, John Murphy, who is now trustee of the association, has a figure on it. What I have asked of the new infrastructure committee, led by Sean Michael O'Regan from Waterford, is to come up with a ten-year infrastructure strategy, something like what the FAI has already done and the very impressive document it has. If we mirror that, before we start running looking for funds, if there can be an acceptance that we already invest multiple millions in our facilities, then if this is going to happen, it is a new challenge to all of us. If we are the people with the facilities, we want to create the facilities commensurate with the needs of ladies playing our games.
