Mr. John Kelly:

There is no way around this issue. It is an extremely challenging situation, not only in sport but across the public services. We do not know the path of the virus and how it is going to impact, which makes things very difficult. The Government stepped up in June and we intend, as part of the Estimates process, to speak to representatives of all the NGBs to get their best current estimate and a prediction of what their needs will be next year. As I said, the budget will be challenging for a number of Departments, but we will do the best that we can for the moment.
