I thank the witnesses for their contributions on minority sports. Similar to a point previously raised, in the Wexford-Wicklow area we have a project in the pipeline called the east coast sports hub, which will serve the Gorey and Arklow areas and beyond. I am looking at funding streams for that. Wexford County Council planned to contribute up to €5 million, with a matching €5 million from the large scale sport infrastructure fund. This would cover a full-scale cricket pitch, hockey pitch, running track and cycle facilities and a basketball arena later on. This summer is the start date. Can the council access further funding to progress the project?
