Mr. Cian Ó Lionáin:

There are two aspects to that question. First, at the corporate governance level there is a rolling programme of audits of the national governing bodies, NGBs, which are done by Sport Ireland. The impact of sports capital on the ground is something we keep under review. For instance, looking at our large-scale sports infrastructure fund, which targets much bigger projects, we are just now coming to the end of a review process of the initial round. One of the emerging lessons is that there is a gap there in that the past 20 months have been really hard on those NGBs and local authorities that applied. Sports revenue has dried up. Costs of construction have gone up. Without prejudging the outcomes of the review, I think we will definitely have to learn from and look at this as we review the large-scale sport infrastructure fund, LSSIF. A lot of the same lessons will probably also apply on the sports capital side, which applies to smaller events.
