I thank Deputies Dillon and O'Connor for their questions and remarks. We expect the review to be published by the end of the year. It is pretty much ready. We will have to consider it and then it will be published. It should be ready very shortly. I appreciate the question asked by Deputies O'Connor and Dillon on the importance of planning for the next round and the level of ambition in communities when it comes to sports capital and equipment programme. This is why we are anxious to advance a further round. We expect it to open early next year. This is why it is important for clubs, whether or not they have received funding, so they can continue to have phased progress of their ambition for their clubs and communities. This will build a more active society as younger people and those of all generations participate in sport. We are ambitious to advance this. As I have said, we will make a formal announcement when we have an exact timing on it. We expect it to be early next year.
