Unfortunately, €30 million is the amount sanctioned by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. We have also agreed with the troika spending ceilings which are set in law. As such, any additional sum would have to come from another area of my budget and that is not something I can do now. As the Deputy correctly said, clubs making applications have offered up to €145 million to match funding provided by the Government. However, one of the reasons a large number of applications have been deemed ineligible is clubs have not been able to produce evidence of having the funding required - 15%.
