It is a good proposal and I support it.

Let me expand on the congratulations. Important points have been made about health issues and I suppose the darker side of the culture associated with sport. A discussion worth having is how we can utilise sport development - the Minister could be invited to the House for a debate on the issue - in health promotion because the two naturally complement each other. Someone who is good at sports and is training, whether for his or her local GAA club, boxing club or soccer club, is instilled very early in life with how to treat his or her body and community with respect. That is something on which the two Ministers on the island could work to promote. I believe there was an all-island men's health promotion last week. That is something at which we could look to initiate a specific discussion. The Ulster Council of the GAA previously conducted an overt health promotion campaign among GAA players entitled, Drink, Drugs & Sausage Rolls, to instill in young GAA athletes how to look after themselves and avoid some of the dangers posed.

I make the point which my leader made previously that this is the day of the referendum on Brexit. At the conclusion of business I will leave to go up the road to vote and I will vote in favour of the United Kingdom remaining in the European Union. It is a very considered position.
