I thank the Minister of State. I do not think community fields come under the sports capital grant scheme. I stand to be corrected. I welcome the funding provided in the areas referred to by the Minister of State, including the constructions of a footpath at Feenagh soccer club. However, in smaller communities, such as Granagh-Ballingarry, there are soccer and GAA fields that are being used as community fields. A high number of people are involved in sport and want to go walking and do different activities. In the case of Ballingarry, for example, there is a GAA field and a soccer field but people are looking for facilities such as walking tracks and places where they can do sports other than GAA sports. I am asking under what programme an application for funding for a community field fits. I will take any advice that the Minister of State can give me to point me in the right direction. I am referring to funding for community fields, in particular.
