The Senator has raised a very valid point. As somebody who started out as a Deputy before pre-legislative scrutiny, the merit of this process I see is that we can tease through these issues and give absolute clarification before we get the legislative process underway properly. I will come back to the committee and clarify the specific point in relation to GAA clubs and soccer clubs, if the Senator is happy with that for now. This will clarify the differentiation between the likes of golf clubs, which are definitely commercial, and the others that are not. We will provide the clarity as to exactly where that defining line is.
