Thank you, and may I thank the Member for his investment in these games? I think that this is a huge opportunity for Ynys Môn, which has witnessed some issues over the past few weeks, and it's good to see a positive on the horizon as regards the Island Games. We are supportive of the games in principle. What I would like to see now is my team develop a valid business case with local government, and we’re extremely aware that this has to be ready by 8 March. So, the idea of pace and moving quickly is one that we are taking seriously and my officials will collaborate with the officers in local government to see how far we can take this, but I’m very hopeful that we can support this.
