All right. It is hardly shocking that people have spoken about the need to streamline Garda vetting and how public liability insurance is killing an awful lot of organisations. I get it. There is nobody here who can answer that. Groups might have to come together but, with the duty of care legislation, the feet of the insurance companies may need to be held to the fire. It is as simple as that.

I know Variety is a small charity but it works with organisations like Louth Disability Cycling Club. What is the timeline for delivery of most of these central hubs? Are we talking about five or six years? What are we talking about?
