Mr. Jerome Pels:

It is probably an issue in society generally. It mainly relates to our liability insurance. Organising the event at the Energia stadium was an experience. We underestimated how much insurance would be in our budget, but one just learns. As a condition of the use of the stadium, we needed to have certain levels of insurance, public liability, and the figures involved are significant.

Returning to Connacht, the other good news is that we have just appointed a development officer in association with the university. Hopefully that will help the clubs and the development of sport in the area.
