I want to use the very last few minutes I have to turn to the Covid-19 resilience scheme. I have some points on the issues Dr. May has raised on large and small governing bodies. The three big governing bodies - the FAI, the GAA and the IRFU - received nearly 73% of the Covid-19 supports. Nearly 85 national governing bodies received the other 27%. Has Sport Ireland seen the benefit of those Covid-19 resilience supports? I am getting a lot of feedback that clubs on the ground, particularly FAI clubs, for example, did not see the trickle down. What structures were in place there to ensure that happened?
