The figures are stark. I imagine if the risk at local level is included, those figures are compounded. I have dealt locally with one soccer club, Tolka Rovers, which I would say is at the point of closing its gates. It is dealing with banks. Some clubs will have an events facility or a pub on the site; others do not.

How has each organisation assisted those local clubs? Has it been in the form of non-financial support, advice, assistance with negotiations with banks and so on?
