We have put €7 million in support of the delivery of a range of actions and we have worked with all the stakeholders. Effectively, we are asking people to keep active and go outdoors. Even during the winter, physical activity can be very helpful. Indeed, as I was listening to the radio in Limerick when coming to Dublin today, it was great to hear that local GAA clubs have opened up their grounds so people can walk around. We are working with all the various stakeholders and organisations because isolation is a significant risk for people of all ages during the Covid-19 pandemic. I pay tribute to all the sporting organisations, and this Government is committed to working with them to try to address these issues.
