It strikes me that the rules do not suit the situation for soccer clubs where half of clubs do not own their facilities and rent, but certainly do not rent on leases for 15 years.

Who is responsible for legacy funding? I see a figure of €6.2 million in legacy funding for the cohosting of Euro 2028, which obviously has great potential for football in Ireland. A lot of people in grassroots soccer are eager to hear what the community gain will be or whether there will a League of Ireland gain as well. The figure of €6.2 million in legacy funding is being suggested. What will that go towards? Who is responsible for that money?
