I welcome the witnesses. Participation in community life for people with a disability - or for us all - is a subject I love. It is so important that people with a disability can live their best lives and be part of, and not feel less than within, a community. I thank the witnesses for the work they do. I have a question for each group. If the witnesses could keep their answers to about two minutes I will get through them all.

First, I mention the GAA all-stars programme. Even the name is brilliant. There is a very strong programme in Bandon in my local GAA club every Saturday morning. The excitement is unreal from the participants, the helpers and the parents. There is such a buzz. It is a programme I love. What do Mr. D'Arcy and Ms Keane see as the biggest challenges clubs face in sustaining the inclusivity programmes? How can national policy help out?
