The Minister has outlined how the funding is to be restored to grassroots soccer. Is there a vehicle to distribute all the funding, which, I think, amounts to €2.9 million, to the grassroots? That is going a different route, but has any other funding been withheld? I am thinking of Euro 2020. It looks as though this may run into the sand. Will there be funding for the four games in Ireland at the Aviva stadium? Is some of that funding under threat?
