Dr. Una May:

I will give the Cathaoirleach my own position on that but it is more of an issue for the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media in respect of the available capital. From our point of view, we are supportive of the concept of multisport and community-shared use. Through the development of the local sports plans, it is our intention to promote the concept of shared-use facilities. As I mentioned earlier, the brief for the Minister of State with responsibility for sport now includes physical education. That opens doors for us to have greater partnership. We have been growing our partnership and relationship with the Department of Education to ensure that where those sorts of facilities do not exist, there is a collaborative partnership in ensuring they are provided. We are committed to providing whatever support we can. We are not in the position of having capital funding available for the construction but we would be very keen to support the development and would put in place the supports to ensure that the use of those facilities would be maximised. If I remember correctly, Rathdowney is one of the areas where we have a community sports hub, which looks at trying to bring together the clubs in the community to work together to be more efficient and effective in how we operate them.
