The objective is to open a sports capital round next spring and have funding announcements later in the year. Sport Ireland is doing work on assessing the particular gaps that exist in different parts of the country across different sports. The information gathered by that will help to inform us for the next round of the community sports facilities fund. We will also assess how the criteria can encourage different clubs and different sports to come together and incentivise that in how they apply and how grants are awarded. We are very open to any ideas that committee members have in that regard.
