I agree with supporting people trying to reach the Olympics and I know that separate grants are available that can benefit individual clubs but Women in Sport has been highlighted a lot this year and the women's hockey team was highly successful. The soccer team was probably more successful than the men's so the amount allocated to women's sport seems quite small. When officials are in meetings with Sport Ireland, these are things they should be asking about.
