I thank all the witnesses. This is obviously a very important issue around bringing the associations together as one but also particularly around enhancing women's sport. I am going to focus on the younger people who are here, namely, Ms Aisling Groarke and Mr. Cormac Spain. As for Mr. Spain's question on Cuala GAA, yes, we have heard of it. Our parliamentary colleague, Deputy Devlin, never shuts up about Cuala GAA and therefore, we are very much aware of it.

From their perspective, in terms of their access to sporting codes in both the GAA and other codes, do they think male and female players are treated in the same way? Are there things they believe can be done at club or organisational level to help to improve or to bridge any gaps? I will put that question to Ms Groarke first and then to Mr. Spain after.
