I thank the Cathaoirleach. I want to highlight the opening of the tennis courts in Ballinasloe. There was very welcome sports capital funding for the Ballinasloe and District Tennis Club. It means three new tennis courts will be available in the town for children and adults. The club is great at bringing along beginners on Saturday mornings. When I was a child, we played on the road when Wimbledon was on. We see real excitement about this and it is open to all. This Sunday from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. there will be fun and games for juniors and free coaching. All ages will be welcome. I urge families throughout the area to come along and find out about tennis as great sport. It is a great way to stay fit. It is very accessible for many people. There are not big costs involved in playing tennis.
