That is what every community organisation will say. They are constantly chasing money. It will be chased down the wrong cul-de-sac at times and they are not doing what they could. If we could get multi-annual funding delivered, we would be in a far better place.

Specifically on the GAA, we are talking about a voluntary organisation where a chairperson will be hammered if they cannot deliver a championship over a number of years. It is about trying to keep the volunteers who are, at times, people who become involved because their kids are involved. How can that be done, while also making sure it is as accessible as possible and while running programmes that kids with autism, for example, can enjoy and avail of?
