In response to Deputy Munster, we very carefully drafted our undertakings to reflect the services we are confident we can deliver. I am reluctant to accept these amendments because of the dilutive effect they would have by inserting "whilst taking the needs of the State into consideration" into the Bill.

Deputy Troy asked about the broad areas of public sector involvement.

That is what the Deputy wants to know about. I am sorry if I was rude or in any abrupt with Deputy Moynihan. I apologise for that. I did not mean to be. I was just somewhat irritated by the time being taken on a local issue but I know the Deputy has to do what he has to do and I have to do what I have to do. I will apologise to him when I meet him. It relates to a guaranteed payment for the tournament fee, security matters, Garda resources for matches and fan zones, Garda escorts for teams, protection of commercial rights, including trademark and intellectual property protection, which was already referred to, clean zones around match venues that are free from non-tournament branding and sponsors, measures to tackle ambush marketing and unauthorised ticket sales, transportation capacity both internal and external, which is what Deputy Troy is referring to, communications capacity involving the broadcasting and broadband infrastructure as well as use of radio frequencies, anti-doping controls, visas for players, officials and spectators, tourism, the promotion of the tournament, accommodation, supporting parallel festivals and events, local authority assistance with local activation, involving the setting up of fan zones and traffic management-----
