Déanaim comhghairdeas leis an Aire Stáit as a phost nua. He will not die of shock when I once again bring up the case of Dundalk FC. As regards soccer, things are not going particularly well for us at present but we will hopefully see a turnaround in the near future. The League of Ireland is absolutely flying. Dundalk FC has submitted a regional sports capital application that is supported by the FAI. It relates to doing up the club's floodlighting, which has not been done up since 1967 or something like that, and upgrading the pitch. These are both necessary pieces of work.

I will come back to the matter of large-scale sports infrastructure funding in my supplementary question because that is where the shooting match is, alongside private funding, in delivering. I will also highlight a couple of soccer teams. Shamrocks FC is looking for something fairly small - we are talking lawnmower stuff - but Glenmuir FC has something far more significant. We are talking about accessibility, renewals and a walkway. Clan na Gael is a GAA club-----
