We are certainly pushing hard to secure additional funding. We have to make sure the projects funded at the moment move on. That is key focus in the short term. We also want to reopen it in as prompt a timeframe as we can and, if we can secure additional funding in the meantime, see how additional projects may be able to move forward but that is subject to additional funding. We are committed to seeing as many develop as possible. There was a lag for many years where projects of this scale were not able to move on. While we have seen lots of progress on small-scale projects and the development of clubs through the sports capital fund, a large number of medium-sized projects require LSSIF funding to move forward. We are working to secure additional funding.
