The next speakers are me and Deputy Devlin. I remind people to indicate if they wish to contribute. There may be time for people to come back in if nobody else indicates. I want to discuss Sport Ireland. It has not published its accounts as yet. It is very difficult to make sense of this very mixed Department. We would nearly need to look at each set of accounts for the individual entities and there are almost 20 entities. It is quite difficult to make sense of it. Included in the package for Sport Ireland will be part of the rescue package for the FAI. How much was provided to Sport Ireland to channel to the FAI in 2020?
