I was with my colleagues in Fáilte Ireland last week and the subject of the Ryder Cup came up. It is a significant event for us. It is a significant event from a marketing point of view. It is the biggest sporting event in the world. I am very happy with the appointment of the director there, who is doing very good work. Are there any additional requirements for the event? It feels like a project running the thing. Is there any support or is anything required? I will propose at some stage that the committee might engage with the group that is doing that. We might even visit it. If the Minister and Minister of State agree, we can arrange to do it on the same day. The committee should visit it to support it. I was at the last one. I was working in Bord Fáilte at the time. Is there anything we need to push for regarding funding? Is there anything we need to do to support it?
