Mr. Cian ? Lion?in:

It is something that has been raised over the years. As a result, the sports capital team in the Department takes a flexible approach to the allocation of grants that have been awarded. Let us say a €50,000 grant has been awarded for a range of projects. The team will work with the club for that to be drawn down in five or even ten instalments when the club can afford to do the work. It is not the case that the club needs to go and fundraise the entirety of the amount to draw down the entirety of the grant. We will work flexibly with the clubs so that they can draw down grants as they can afford to.
