We want to identify particular needs and try to make sure as best as possible that we address them. The Deputy mentioned boxing which is a case in point. I met the boxing association recently and that is one of the things we discussed. We will work with Sport Ireland and be informed by the work it is doing. We will work with national governing bodies too to try to ensure the support is being provided through them to clubs to make applications. There is no doubt that in some sports the clubs have been better at applying and have been more supported than others. That feeds through with drawdowns and successful applicants too, so we will see how we can better support them.
