That is what we should be about. In future, when a motion is tabled in this House about sport, it should be the Minister at the relevant Department who takes it. Likewise, when a motion relates to transport for people with disabilities, the relevant Minister should respond. Let us make this a reality.

All of the issues to which I have referred in terms of implementation plans, capacity legislation and so on refer to the infrastructure and architecture. They are a recognition that people with disabilities simply need a little more support than the rest of us. Of course, as we age, we will all need that type of support. I commend Senator Mary Moran for bringing forward the motion. We can never praise Special Olympics Ireland enough.
