I recognise the points made by Deputy Kelly and I recognise the view and perspective of the Social Democrats.

On the point made by Deputy Paul Murphy about the funding for the sector, of course he ignores the jobs that are dependent on it. On the sports funding, we invested €150 million in sports clubs across the country this year, which is very important and shows the Government commitment to sports in general.
