A portion of the €35 million will be kept aside to deal with certain anomalies that might arise. There will be more complex club or community structures which might not fit within a national governing body, NGB, arrangement. Community pool facilities, for example, may not have any relationship with an NGB. We are keen to ensure those facilities are maintained. The main thing is to protect the community sporting sector that does not currently benefit from the temporary business support scheme, TBESS. The Minister, Deputy Martin, can speak to that point as it relates to the arts and culture sector. The Minister, Deputy Humphreys, is dealing with the broader community sector. We will ensure those sectors get a buffer of support in the period ahead. That is what we are keen to ensure.
