I thank the Cathaoirleach Gníomhach for the opportunity to come in and the Minister of State, Deputy Byrne, for his response. Clubs in our constituencies applied for the latest round of funding and received the maximum, €150,000, or a little less. Due to building and construction cost inflation, that €150,000 will cover substantially less work than it would have when they were drafting their plans and applied. I would love to see an opportunity as that part of the application process for consideration to be given to some of those clubs for which the initial grant given does not now cover the cost of what was planned and the plans have stalled as they are not able to draw down the money.
