Every industry is suffering.

And when you're knocking on government's door or other agencies for help, you're in a queue.

So it's been difficult.

But there's a bit of optimism in the air this morning.

I read the papers.

Some people are saying there's a chance it might happen.

Don't know why they know more than I do at the moment.

But we're...

We're working really hard on it.

And we think, you know, as I said, with the whole game desperate to get back, we think there's going to be announcement tonight here in Ireland that young children will be allowed summer camps, you know, being out in fresh air and, you know, social distancing, etc.

That our association will be able to plan for summer camps, which is a start.

And if we can get our players through the testing system for the four-team pilot, that will be really good.

There's about, counting officials who would have to be at the stadium, there's been about 150 people tested twice now in the last week or so, and all of them have returned negative.

So we're kind of doing the right things.

We hope it's all for, I suppose, a positive result at the end from government.

But it's a tough situation.

Well, that's it.

On the international side, so we have, I suppose, four main pillars.

We have grassroots, which encompasses the entire amateur game.

We have what we call high performance, which effectively are young players going into an elite system, which includes national leagues, which are League of Ireland clubs, hand over from grassroots to that.
