We are conscious the witnesses have been in the committee for two and a half hours already. I want to ask the witnesses about the availability of grant assistance to the grassroots of their respective organisations? For example, say a small club in Kerry is looking to do X, Y or Z, to reseed or drain the pitch or whatever. We have the sports capital programme, which is a great programme. It is ideal but may be a bit difficult to apply for and get the application valid. Not everybody gets funding. How do the grant schemes work with the witnesses' own organisations?
