Mr. Mark Flanagan:

It is just one avenue. We do not believe it should fail. It is a legitimate application which we believe meets all the criteria laid out by the Minister and his Department. Too stringent a view is being taken and there is no flexibility within that. If it failed, we would have to look at other avenues but there are no other avenues for sporting organisations out there. IIP has been the backbone of all sporting organisations. The IRFU and GAA clubs have used it to build sporting facilities and the FAI relies on IIP. If IIP is taken off the table, it needs to be replaced with something else. It would be very difficult if we do not get the IIP approval. We would be in the same boat as many other sporting organisations.
