I thank the Minister of State for looking into the matter and coming back with a response. I would appreciate it if he can discover whether the timeline can be moved forward. Children of all ages, from the young to the not so young, have been disenfranchised as a result of the delay. The Department sanctioned the funding. That probably happened around the same time that I originally submitted this Commencement matter because I have heard from a number of the swimmers. However, the problem was, perhaps, that there was silence about it and none of the people involved on the swimming side were informed about what was happening.
