I will put a very brief question to the FAI. I am reminded of the idea that the good that men do is often interred with their bones while the evil lives on. There has been a lot of talk about failings from the FAI. One of the strengths of the previous regime in the FAI was the camps and funding for grassroots clubs. What cost-cutting measures are expected as a result of the drop in resources and will they impact on funding to the FAI camps and to clubs? I am not referring to League of Ireland clubs but those right across Ireland in small towns and villages, which have received support from the FAI up until relatively recently.
