The national sports policy clearly includes a commitment to carry out a nationwide audit of sports facilities, whether publicly or privately owned. Despite the commitment, little or no progress has been made at Government level. Last November, a temporary stand at a League of Ireland match was evacuated due to wear and tear. League of Ireland club infrastructure is way below where it should be. That highlights the need for a sports facility strategy. Is this Government committed to carrying out this audit? If so, when will it materialise?

I thank the Deputy. The short answer is that the Government does remain committed to carrying out that audit. I appreciate it is overdue. It is an important piece of information that we need because when it comes to processing and deciding on sports capital grants, it would be good to have a better picture of where there are already facilities and where there are deficits. That is why it would be useful to carry out this audit. I do not have a timeframe on when it will start, but I will ask the Minister of State, Deputy Thomas Byrne, to correspond directly with the Deputy on it.
