My question is for the Minister of State. The investment in sport has been really significant both with the huge investment under the last round of the sports capital programme and the LSSIF. However, there is an issue for minority sports and in certain disadvantaged areas and even some urban areas where clubs or organisations do not have access to facilities. This has been a long-running problem, as the Minister of State knows, particularly for minority sports. I know the Department is looking at reviewing the criteria and particularly partnering with local authorities because it will support those that have not been able to access the resources. As we anticipate that there will be another round of the sports capital programme next year and then hopefully an LSSIF in 2027, can the Minister of State update the committee?
