Will much of that €6.2 million legacy fund be for projects that relate to inclusion? Will they benefit from that €6.2 million? The figure of €6.2 million is not to be sniffed at, but it will not address the huge gap in funding that League of Ireland football and grassroots football need. The figure of €6.2 million, given the amount of money it will cost the State to host the competition, seems to me to be very small. I am concerned that there will be a lack of momentum in terms of the goodwill towards League of Ireland currently and grassroots football. I am concerned that the funding will not match the demand and the need for resources. Will some of the €6.2 million be diverted towards inclusion projects?
