Ms Katherine Licken:
I believe we awarded €18.2 million to the IRFU to support its national governing body, NGB, the provinces and 166 clubs; €13.2 million was awarded to the FAI to support its NGB, affiliates, League of Ireland teams and 400 plus grassroots teams; and €15 million was awarded to three Gaelic games associations, those being, the GAA, LGFA and camogie, with €5.2 million awarded to the three NGBs to support the safe return of club activity for 33,271 teams across 1,780 facilities and €10.795 million awarded to support the three NGBs in respect of their county and provisional structures. We will get that table to the committee.
