Mr. David Courell:

I appreciate the Deputy is going to maybe baulk at this but there will be limitations to what I can say. I will try my best to address them. The limitations are there because we are in ongoing litigation. With that said, there are a range of issues that were identified in the unfortunate media leak of that case. We have not yet had an opportunity to mount our defence but as Mr. Keohane said, it will be robust. We will be submitting that to the Circuit Court in due course. It would be right and proper for us to respect the process and enable that to play out. With that said, I want to just give reassurance to every young girl, every mum, every dad who is listening or watching today that the association places a huge emphasis on women's and girls' football. The scale of growth it is experiencing is immense, with a 79% increase in participation in women's and girls' football over the last four seasons. We have played our part and continue to do so by investing heavily, with the 12th-highest investment across UEFA, into those standards. With regard to any issues that were identified in relation to the women's national team, it is only right and proper, as we have acknowledged, there were some concerns or challenges that were raised. We listened, we took action and they were addressed long before any of this came to light, such as ensuring that the women's national team now has a security detail in support of them.
