Text

I thank the Minister for his answer. He will be aware of Dungannon Swifts' recent win in the Irish Cup final, and I hope that he will join me in congratulating them. Dungannon Swifts is testament to the importance of home-grown talent, particularly with respect to Dungannon United Youth, bringing grassroots sport to areas and giving people an opportunity. Will the Minister ensure that funding through his Department inspires the next generation and that grassroots funding will be prioritised?
