That to me spells out a real failure on behalf of the local government, on the national government to actually deliver on sporting facilities for children if they have to rely on a
philanthropic collective to deliver them a million quid.
It feels that there's a multitude of factors at play here as well in terms of actually getting stuff over the line.
Funding is one step, but there's a whole other swathe of other issues.
Like when it comes to planning, for example, is there anything that sports facilities or the sports world of Ireland can do to grease the wheels when it comes to planning?
Because sporting infrastructure, you know better than anybody how important that is on a social level for this country, particularly in built up areas.
Built up areas face greater planning issues than most other areas of the country.
So those two things can't really coexist either.
Because how do you address the issues that we're discussing today while also realising that the number one subject on the government's agenda right now is the ongoing housing crisis?
So it can't just be a sort of black and white look at more houses equals a better society.
What's coming with the housing?
How do we then bridge the gap between that?
pitifully low amount of money and what could be possible in deprived areas.
What can be done to ensure that more applications are forthcoming?
Because as you say there, it's the applications.
It's on that side where there doesn't seem to be enough volume.
we put this up on our Instagram story yesterday that you'd be popping into studio.
We got a load of feedback.
There's going to be some specific questions here, but a lot of them are pretty broad and I think they'll apply to a lot of people who are considering getting involved in the application process in this round.
So Ciarán's been in touch to say, could you ask if we may see more municipal sports facilities going forward like we see in other countries?
