Covid-19: Impact on Team Sport in Ireland

My first question is to each of the organisations. I refer to the €70 million in funding secured by Sport Ireland in response to Covid-19. I understand that the applications opened in July and that €40 million of the €70 million was to be divided between the three main sporting organisations. Do they know how exactly that funding is to be divided up between the three of them? For the remaining €30 million there were three different categories. I presume they can apply for these funding streams individually as organisations.
How much will each organisation benefit from the €40 million? Overall, given the fact that the losses incurred this year due to the pandemic have been outlined, does each of them feel that €70 million funding is sufficient?
