Like you look at the budget last year and sure, there's 1.5 million euro for high performance athletes, which covers a lot of different sports.
I'm sure boxers are part of that.
When it comes to specific sports, you've got 727,000 euro to the IRFU, 983,000 euro to the GAA specifically.
in the budget.
I've just outlined what's happened there in the last Sports Capital Grants funding, the favouritism shown to the GEA, you could argue, in that round of sports funding.
And we're talking about an organisation right now that the conversation is happening around GEA Plus and how much revenue it's taking in through that stream.
It's an organisation that's having Leeds versus Manchester United taking place in Crowe Park this summer.
It's a
fairly flush organisation in terms of what it's bringing in.
And you could definitely make the case that it requires less help than the majority of boxing clubs, for example, around the country.
Would you not be better off throwing in a few hundred thousand euro to less advantaged sports at the next budget compared to how well organised the GAA is in terms of grabbing this sports capital grant funding?
Just one other thing that I wanted to ask you about was just on, again, going back to the budget last year, because I think it's the first time I've spoken to you since then, just the €3 million allocated to this year's budget for League of Ireland academies.
I'm sure there's a lot of work happening in the background on that.
What's your understanding of the latest on all of that?
And it being ranked as the second most popular sport in the Sports Monitor today, drilling only personal exercise or just going to the gym.
Yet across Ireland, our pools are either closing their doors or are beyond repair, has been the feedback.
So I guess people are saying they're swimming, but they're doing it out in the sea.
And the access to pools is not amazing because of the fact that they are beyond repair, as has been reported.
Okay, very good.
So that's a pretty broad breakdown of everything that's on the table over the next little while.
