And that hasn't been the case in recent community sports facilities fund rounds either.

The reality has been that GA clubs...

have been traditionally very good and very proactive in terms of making applications.

And of course, as an organisation and as clubs, they do wonderful, wonderful work within communities.

But there hasn't been an inbuilt bias in any way in relation to extra funds going towards one sport over another.

When I get to our start of the week, David Clifford.

I just scored his 24th.

There you go.

Off the ball breakfast.

Hello there, I'm Dara Smith-Nocton and you're very welcome to a special edition of Rugby Daily here from Clermont-Ferrand.

We're now in the aftermath of a disappointing night in the Women's Six Nations for Ireland.

The French ran out eventual 26-7 winners in the Stade Marcel Michelin following a dominant second half performance.

Ireland will very much rue their misfortune in the first half as the TMO disallowed three Irish tries in the opening 30 minutes.

In this episode we'll be hearing from Ireland head coach Scott Beeman, captain Aaron King and outside centre Aoife Dalton as they all spoke in the immediate aftermath of the game.

Rugby on off the ball is with thanks to Bank of Ireland.

Hashtag never stop competing.

First up, let's hear from head coach Scott Beeman.

He summed up his own thoughts around Ireland's performance and expressed his pride in his side showing in a packed out French cauldron.

I was informed that every available ticket was sold for last night's fixture, with the official attendance totalled at around 17,000.

Fine margins.
