I have dealt with clubs in what may be described as challenging circumstances and they have been first class in responding to this. Work is needed, which the Minister of State, Deputy Byrne, is examining how we can provide assistance in some areas and to sectors or clubs to make the grant applications, which is probably more of an issue. Some clubs are not as adept as others, given their structure and administrative capacity, at making the applications in the first place. We can explore that but fundamentally you have to be careful that you do not just allocate money and nothing happens.
