I thank the Minister. I have one last question on that point. This is how it is hitting grassroots. There is a small soccer club in north Galway, Colemanstown United FC, which was the overall national FAI club winner of the year this year. It received €5,000 in prizes, which was huge money for it. That money and more has been spent on development and the club now has bank overdrafts. Is there any way that the club can get the prize money it won or is the Minister aware of anything like that in this process?
