With support for local clubs, and remember that all the people in the local club are working on a voluntary basis, they have made more progress in the last two years than the FAI has in ten years in the area. They are all working on a voluntary basis yet the FAI has a whole professional organisation where there are highly paid people and there is a 30 acre site lying idle for over ten years. It is not value for money in the sense of what the local organisation is prepared to do.
