I welcome the witnesses. I apologise if I go over any questions that have been asked already. I was attending another committee. The Covid resilience fund was exceptionally important at the time. Sport Ireland responded extremely well to the various organisations that required funding. Not necessarily historically for 2021, but more generally, Sport Ireland has a requirement to support women in sport and those from disadvantaged or deprived backgrounds. I know a number of the grants are tailored to cater to those categories. What is Sport Ireland doing to specifically encourage those categories?
