The investment is welcome. My concern is that if you look at many of the sports capital projects, clubs put in an application for €100 million and they get €50 million. The reality is that they cannot deliver that project because they do not have what they need to deliver out on the project. They were looking for €4.5 million to make the project work. My concern is that the €3 million will not allow them to finish out that project, the development of academies, in the way that is required to make it work into the future. I always believe it is an investment. It is not a grant or some handout; it is an investment. It is investment in communities and Irish football. We have great football people, but I am concerned that if they do not have the full allocation that they requested and that they need to make it work, falling short of that figure will hamper them. That is my concern.
