Covid-19: Impact on Sport in Ireland

I thank Mr. Sheahan. That will be reassuring for those clubs and organisations that have been granted funding but whose circumstances have also changed.
In the time remaining, I might ask Mr. Treacy a question focusing on elite athletes. He mentioned Tokyo. There are other events coming down the track for many sports as well. What supports have been put in place since the initial Covid outbreak in Ireland for elite athletes? Some might not have the necessary training capabilities in their immediate environs. When the travel restrictions and so forth were lifted, what supports were put in place vis-à-vistravel and accommodation for people who had critical deadlines in their professional careers?
