Mr. Mark Scanlon:

As I mentioned to Deputy Byrne, it would provide an opportunity for LOITV to develop a documentary-style series on what happens at academy levels for the boys and girls and their journey and pathway. It could also include the volunteers and the community work that goes on. More recently, people may be aware that our League of Ireland clubs have done a fantastic job in two areas of our community work. We had a Down's syndrome futsal festival a couple of weeks ago, in which 12 League of Ireland clubs participated. This was followed up on a month later by a walking football festival for older fans within the clubs to represent their clubs. Both of them were fantastic community initiatives. We would love to be able to broadcast them and bring the story of participants with Down's syndrome and from the walking football community to a wider audience.

Right now, we do not have that opportunity to develop that due to the cost impact. Programmes like that on our side would be brilliant from a public service point of view.
