Ms Michele Rohan:

They are on CE schemes, particularly in the urban areas. From what I know, many of the soccer clubs, under the Football Association of Ireland, have some. We already have our traditional CE with X number of people working on soccer and rugby pitches doing the grass and lining. There are those who dismiss it as cutting the grass but if the grass is not cut, you cannot go out and play your match the next day. If the pitch is not lined, the referee will not let you play, so it is very important to keep the grass cut.
