Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Covid-19: Impact on Team Sport in Ireland
Mr. Philip Browne:
I echo what Mr. Ryan has said. The funding is hugely welcome. My understanding is that the funds are there for 2020, but as he said, we have to face into 2021, and the situation, on the face of it, does not look like it is going to get any better. I suspect we will have to look at this again next year, in terms of how we can keep the show on the road in sport. The funding is enormously welcome. I have no idea how it will be distributed across the three organisations in terms of the €40 million, but we await a decision being made in October on that.
