I thank the Minister of State for the work he is doing. I support him in possibly obtaining funding from other sources to purchase land and properties. That is crucial. As my colleague said, to get on the first rung of the ladder is a big step. In my part of the country, there is a huge athletics community. Those involved are trying to build an athletics track but cannot get the land to do so. It is really frustrating.

What monitoring and evaluating happens after funding has been allocated to ensure it delivers the intended benefits? Is there any follow-up or feedback in that regard?
