Ms Katherine Licken:

There are two separate issues here. After every round of sports capital grants, the team reviews it to get the lessons learned. Sometimes, we will get the strategic policy unit to also review and ask whether there is some way we could do better. We always listen to the stakeholders and produce a new scheme. We have produced the latest review, which is suggesting different areas of focus but not a fundamental change to sports capital funding at all. We hear the views of stakeholders. What Deputy Catherine Murphy spoke about and what Deputy O'Connor was talking about in the FAI was a broader comment about funding generally for sport. All sports organisations would share the view that if there was more funding available, that would be great. The FAI just made a particular point and it is the organisation that is visible on that point, which is that if the gambling levy were bigger and available to more sporting organisations, that would be great. I did not detect that the FAI was actually criticising an existing programme like the sports capital programme.
