Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire as a ráiteas.
He will be well aware of the vital role that the GAA plays in communities, particularly in rural communities. Across the North, GAA clubs are often the hub for other cultural activities, over and above just our Gaelic games. They are used for dance events, our music and so on. They fulfil another role, however. For instance, when it comes to a bereavement, and visitors to a community have to be accommodated for, say, tea after a funeral, the GAA club will be used, as it is perhaps the only facility available in certain rural communities. Will the Minister confirm that GAA clubs and halls will not be excluded from the fund?
