I will be brief because many of the questions have been asked. I love the way Mr. Ó Broin is dropping names like Dan Rooney, as in, "I was just chatting with Dan Rooney". That comes from being president of the GAA. Fair play.

Congratulations, this is an extraordinary venture. I am four square behind it. Even though it has its detractors, such as those who say, for example, it is not going to work because county boards are facing insolvency due to the cost of running their men's team. However, this is exactly why this venture has to work. I will ask Mr. Ó Broin a question and I am not trying to catch him out, because he may not know the answer. For example, does he know whether the players on the Cork senior hurling team would ever be involved in or organise fundraising events to fund the running of the team? Would he be aware of that?
