Keep manners on that lad. I have only one question. It is relevant to Variety and the GAA, in particular, but possibly from a policy perspective to Sport Ireland as well. In the important areas of Garda vetting and insurance, are there changes or improvements required? The greatest asset in the delivery of inclusive sport and activity is the strength of the volunteer cohort. There can be delays with Garda vetting, in particular, and that may limit the number of people who can help. There is then a knock-on effect on the number of participants who can be accommodated.

On insurance, are there extra levies relating to the complexity of equipment? Is there a higher risk, or a perceived higher risk, for running activities? Perhaps that is totally irrelevant but I am asking to help us to plan as comprehensively as possible to assist the witnesses' organisations.
