I was going to ask the same question because Mr. Scanlon outlined the impact on the FAI. The figure of 40% is substantial. Would Mr. Quinn like to take the benefit of a minute or two to detail what that situation actually leads to? Will it be a reduction in capital spending for clubs and so on?

Turning to Mr. Scanlon, I like the whole model that is being run with LOITV. I think it is great that somebody can participate, be it as a camera operator or commentator, and get the experience of being involved from the grassroots up. He might give us one or two examples from around the country where things have been done very well. He probably does not want to single out any specific Premier Division clubs, but he might tell us about where it has been done very well or where somebody has perhaps gone on further afield.
