Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media
Football Association of Ireland's Facility Investment Vision and Strategy, and Governance Issues: Discussion
Mr. Jonathan Hill:
We have engaged with other NGBs, for example, basketball, to talk about ways in which we can create community-led facilities for the grassroots in particular whereby other sports can be integrated into the planning for the building of those facilities. That is a really sensible way to do it. We are very happy also to work with the other two major sports. It is slightly more difficult in the context of rugby and the GAA due to the size of the facilities, pitches, etc., but for younger kids and how they play, if more 4G pitches, both indoor and outdoor, were provided, they could be used by all sports.
