We hope those clubs will be part of the recovery plan. I cannot speak highly enough of them. It has always been my experience in this Ministry that these clubs are the backbone of sport. It would be wrong if they were not a major and significant part of the recovery plan. The expert group will give advice on the guidelines about which the Deputy talked. Much of it will be up to the clubs. The volunteers are fantastic people and I have absolutely no doubt that they will abide by the protocols and enforce them because they have the good and the health of the members of the clubs in mind at all times.
