Mr. Cian ? Lion?in:

I thank the Deputy. For context, it is highly likely that a new round of the programme will open soon. We have completed a review of the outgoing round and a report has been published on the Department website. Among the things highlighted is an emphasis on investment in communities of disadvantage and sharing facilities. We are also suggesting there should be an increase and stronger focus on grants that will benefit people with disabilities and on areas of rapid population growth. On the specific question of the issues the Deputy described within the grounds, they can be accommodated within a sports capital grant. It is often a question of the club's priorities in terms of sport infrastructure or the walking area. There is a conversation to be had, however, about the linkage between local authorities and the sports system, and how that can be improved.
