The trouble is that we are losing them and there is a real danger that it will not be solved. I have made Sport Ireland aware of the issue. There is a real concern that volunteers will be lost.

I also have a question about clubs that received the sports capital grant. Different clubs received different grants over the last few years, but due to Covid-19 they were unable to progress projects. Now, with inflation many clubs are finding they either cannot finish a project or cannot start a project.

Will the Department look at giving top-ups to successful sports capital grant applicants in circumstances where they have suffered as a result of inflation?
