Turning to Mr. Hill, clubs around the country, the association at grass roots level, etc., went through a very difficult period. Would he concede that this was a very low level of funding from the Covid relief fund for the grass roots? It was important for those clubs to keep the show on the road, but there would seem to be a large imbalance there between the €12 million at the central level and €2 million at grass roots level, which, after all, is the foundation that the whole edifice rests on.
