That is okay. Obviously, Mr. Kelly cannot get into facts and figures, particularly if he is in a negotiation process. I will take for granted that there is acceptance that in this State, across Europe and on a wider level, we need to be imaginative. We need to ensure we put the moneys in place in order that we have an operating society beyond this pandemic.
I am inclined to believe Mr. Kelly is taking into account what was said earlier by the three groupings and the particular costs they have, whether that is for maintenance of the League of Ireland or otherwise. I also take from what he said earlier that Mr. Kelly is looking for input from all stakeholders on the needs and wants, particularly, financial, to maintain as much as we can of our sporting infrastructure.
