In 2015. However, we will have to examine at a later date whether it will be possible to bring it forward. I cannot make promises at this stage. The Minister of State, Deputy Michael Ring, has been in contact with other Departments. While sports funding is provided in the main by the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport, the Departments of Health, Education and Skills and the Environment, Heritage and Local Government also provide funding. The only concern we would have, particularly at a time when budgets are constrained, is that organisations, rather than offering to share the cost, may opt to pass it on. However, the Minister of State is investigating the matter.
