Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Covid-19: Impact on Sport in Ireland

Mr. John Kelly:

Our main response on Covid has been the €70 million outlined earlier, a large part of which is going to governing bodies and another portion going to clubs. That is to address the short-term and medium-term issues. We think the best way to do that is through the governing bodies.

The Deputy has raised a very tricky challenge for the future in terms of charities and how Covid-19 has impacted fundraising. What happened in June was a point in time and we are aware we are going to have to revisit this.
