The Minister of State's progressive attitude towards sports capital grant funding is to be welcomed. One thing I would ask is that perhaps special consideration might be given to clubs and groups that have not previously received any recognition. There are a number of such organisations and they have been feeling a little neglected for some years. This is an opportunity to help them and one which I am sure the Minister of State will seize.
