I thank the Minister for his response and welcome the sports capital grant programme, which has not operated since 2008. Notwithstanding the current economic circumstances, I understand another round of grants is proposed, which I welcome.

It should be noted that the allocations given to local sporting organisations can be invested to create jobs locally. I welcome the allocation and look forward to getting to grips with the announcement. I thank the Minister for his response.
