There was a service level agreement, of which I have a copy. It was not followed through and then the distribution process moved from an SLA to an etender process. Despite the SLA being for a value of €70,000, the etender process for the distribution of this fund of €70,000 that was earmarked by the Minister of State only advertised for €50,000. There seems to be a discrepancy not only between the Minister of State making the announcement to one club – that is a different issue for the Minister of State to account for – but in the total amount that was agreed in the SLA and what was available later on in the etender.
