A lot of work is going on. A steering group is co-ordinating across Departments and is also working with Limerick County Council. It is under the chairmanship of a former Secretary General to the Government, Martin Fraser. The group meets regularly and is making progress. Most recently, a director has been employed in the Department to make sure it moves forward. He is taking on the role of liaising with Limerick County Council, the steering committee and across government. Good progress has been made. A lot of work is still to be done but there are good structures in place to make sure it progresses well and is a big success.

I have discussed the GAA issue with all three of the key bodies: the GAA, the LGFA and the Camogie Association. As the committee knows, under the chairperson, former President, Mary McAleese, there is very strong engagement and I have been assured that work is progressing strongly and well.
