Mr. Brian Molloy:

Mr. Ó Broin has captured it very well. From a Camogie Association perspective, visibility is key for us. I refer to visibility of our game and making sure that we afford opportunities to all of the girls. I made the point earlier, and I come from a particular perspective, that I want to see camogie girls playing ladies football. And I want to see ladies football girls playing camogie. Mr. Ó Broin commented at our congress, and I am sure he said it elsewhere too, about ensuring we develop hurling in traditional football areas and football in traditional hurling areas. As an integrated association, it goes back to that integrated mindset. If we all see ourselves as being part of the same then we can actually leverage all the skill sets that we have. We have brilliant people all across the country, hundreds and hundreds of thousands of really talented people but there is a funding requirement for some of these things and a requirement to enable us to leverage the volunteers and the skill sets and grey matter that we have all across every parish. That only brings us so far. As Mr. Ó Broin said, the most effective way of doing it is through a mechanism whereby the associations – and, ultimately, the association – will leverage the money from the Government. The suggestion about having an integration-focused fund for infrastructure development specifically around making improvements in relation to accessibility for the other codes is a really good idea. Senator Carrigy said that there have been changes made to the sports capital grant criteria to make sure that additional weighting applies when female sports are given access to the funds. The point about the municipal model was mentioned earlier and making the centres of excellence in every town and parish operate on the basis that they are available to multiple sports gives better bang for buck to the Government and gives us a better situation whereby we have less difficulty in accessing pitches that our kids play on.
