Garret Ahearn (Fine Gael)

I will address my question to the Minister of State as his roles have been defined since the Departments changed. He spoke about female participation in sport. There is probably no better example than Irish soccer over the past number of years. There has been a 27% increase in female participation, largely down to the performance of the women's soccer team in the World Cup in Australia and the good performances they have had, Katie McCabe in particular. The FAI put forward a proposal for a ten-year plan for Irish soccer, led by the CEO David Courell, to open up 26 new locations across the country - Limerick, Donegal, everywhere - support grassroots and in particular talented young players to reach their potential. Has the Minister of State met the FAI to discuss the plan? Is he open to supporting the FAI in the budget in October?
