I have one further question. While I am not trying to be awkward, to a considerable extent this constitutes the nub of the Bill. I am surprised there is no definition of the term "campus" anywhere and one could end up with all sorts of complications in this regard. Section 7(9) defines "sports campus" as a campus of facilities for sporting activities. Although the fact that I had time to consult a dictionary it is probably a sad reflection on my life, I did so. The dictionary definition of "campus" is the grounds of a school, college, university or hospital.

I can imagine the befuddlement of their lordships and ladyships in the courts if this legislation ever comes before them and if they will be obliged to work out what the term "campus" means and what the Oireachtas meant by it. It would have been quite simple to include a definition of the term "campus" which essentially constituted a description of the activities under discussion here. It is a pity there is no such definition. Alternatively, I may have missed it.
