It is all about involvement and engagement. As we have all seen, this as very positive. It is about how we can facilitate as many people as possible. What resources need to be provided to facilitate people? We all know the projects that are working well, whether it is the High Five boxing academy or the all-star inclusive clubs programme. I have seen the work that Mr. O'Brien has done to facilitate groups like the Louth Disability Cycling Club. Gary Shiels, who was the chairperson of the Louth Disability Cycling Club, was a serious cycling fanatic and had a really serious accident that left him with huge mobility issues. I have seen Louth Disability Cycling Club facilitating him. That is alongside carers and all the rest. This is what I would have seen as complex stuff. I would have been afraid to touch it, from a health and safety point of view. However, I spoke to Gary Shiels afterwards and he said the organisation gives him a sense of purpose but, beyond that, it restored his ability to cycle and got him outside again, getting hit by the rain and all the stuff that had been removed from his life. This is the sort of positivity that can be provided by sport in general. We are talking turkey here in relation to what is needed. What is required? As much as Mr. O'Brien wants to say very nice things about the Government, what do we need to facilitate this as best we can?
