Pádraig O'Sullivan: A total of €250 million is a phenomenal amount of money, and many clubs across Cork city and county eagerly await it. As the Minister of State mentioned, there have been 262 applications from County Cork. I know he is familiar with a number of them. His predecessor visited a number as well. To mention just a few, there is Leeside AFC, Rockmount, Riverstown, Castleview, Ballincollig...

Richard Boyd Barrett: I mentioned earlier the tremendous success of Jack Marley in the Olympic Games and, previously, in winning gold and silver at European level. I should also mention Robin O'Reilly, who is 14, also from Monkstown Boxing Club. She started boxing when she was ten and has just won a bronze medal at European level. The important thing about that is that success is down to a club that was built...

Neasa Hourigan: I will follow up on Deputy Boyd Barrett's contribution because that is pretty much exactly what I want to say. Although we have Croke Park in my area, we do not actually have a great many GAA clubs. That is why areas like Cabra, for example, have Naomh Fionnbarra, which is literally the centre of our community. It runs festivals. It is the place where the community gathers and it is so...

Thomas Byrne: As regards Deputy O'Sullivan's point on the appeals, there is an appeals process for disappointed clubs. Every valid application will get a grant. There may be some which are marked invalid, and they will have the chance to appeal that. That will be announced at the time we make the launch. As regards Deputy Boyd Barrett's point, disadvantaged areas are prioritised in this programme....

Pádraig O'Sullivan: I will be brief. I have just three short supplementary questions for the Minister of State. The first is about the LSSIF, which he spoke about in his statement. Could he give us the detail of the number of applications for the LSSIF in Cork city and county, now if he has the figures with him or later? Could he give us the number of drawdowns to date since the 2020 allocation, just so we...

Neasa Hourigan: I welcome some of the statistics the Minister of State gave. I certainly welcome the improvements he outlined. The issue, which he might address, is the complexity as to why girls drop out of sport and the barriers they face, including that provision for them is sometimes peripheral when it comes to the provision of pitches and other infrastructure. Some research has shown that issues like...

Thomas Byrne: Last year, I launched the Her Moves campaign to support, motivate and encourage teenage girls to be active. The Her Moves branding, including certain criteria around programme design, is now being used by organisations when rolling out physical activity programmes that target teenage girls. We have also taken a number of other initiatives. Under the community sports facilities fund,...

Neasa Hourigan: I really welcome some of those initiatives. As somebody who represents an area with a number of communities in which a lot of households are on low incomes and there are areas of deprivation, we look to sports facilities and sports clubs to help achieve social cohesion. Increasingly, we are seeing the benefits of sports participation for mental health and in creating a sense of belonging....

Thomas Byrne: The Minister informs me that on the arts side of the Department, a safety programme is being established along the lines of what the Deputy spoke about in terms of ensuring women and girls feel safe in sports settings. That will be rolled out in a number of venues, including sports clubs. On the sports side, the sports organisations, in fairness, have come a long way. There is still a...

Táimid ag iarraidh go mbeidh sé neamhspleách agus go mbeidh an scéal iomláin inste dúinn. Caithfimid fanacht ar an obair sin. Táim ag súil leis an...
