Excuse me? There is €5,000 in prize money for the women's game, compared with €500,000 for the men's. That gives us a stark indicator of how much work has to be done to actually get to a point where women feel equal. From the moment girls enter sport, right through to the point of elite athleticism in all sports, including snooker, we need to see more done. While I am really heartened by some of the witnesses' words, I am not as heartened by the actions. I do not see humility being displayed by the organisation. We have clearly seen through some of the language that has been reported that humility was not there. It is not enough to fall back on process and say people should come forward. The organisation should absolutely live and breathe a culture of equality and accountability to women and girls within its sport.

I want to turn to Sport Ireland now because I have a couple of questions focusing in on governance. Specifically, does Dr. May see merit in funding-eligibility requirements extending beyond the legislative requirements referenced in the opening remarks?
