Does the pilot scheme cover GAA clubs nationwide or is it confined to a few? It is a really good idea, as the quality of facilities at GAA and other sports clubs varies around the country. Many people have connections abroad and hope that perhaps in some shape or form they might be the nuggets with which the clubs connects. It seems to be a great idea for clubs and large voluntary groups. How extensive is the scheme?
