One of my colleagues referred to a figure of €40 million, but the Government has actually allocated €70 million to sport. Some €40 million will go to the FAI, GAA and IRFU, €10 million will go to the resilience fund for governance bodies and up to €15 million will go to the sports club resilience fund to support clubs. Deputy Fitzpatrick asked whether this funding would be adequate. Will the witnesses comment on this matter? Have they applied for these funds? In addition, up to €5 million will go to the sports restart and renewal fund.
