Mr. Cian ? Lion?in:

The sports capital and equipment programme has been a tremendous success over 20 to 30 years and we certainly would not want to do anything to undermine that. It works well and delivers to local clubs in every parish in the country. It has a very engaged and responsive team who work with the clubs that apply so we certainly would have no interest in undermining that as a concept. As a sports ecosystem we would argue for additionality to meet the additional needs there for football and a range of other sports in Ireland. That is probably a wider national conversation as well.
