The Claire Byrne Show · Exercise in Ireland has become expensive · 21 May 2026 podcast

And when you say you're going to put money back into the pockets of the hard-pressed, I mean...

People are struggling to pay the grocery bills here, let alone membership of a gym.

And that's a very important point.

And what I would say there is that finance should not be a barrier to participation in sport.

And this is literally just putting money back into the pockets of families.

And I take my own situation, as I said earlier.

I have four daughters, Clare, and they're involved in multiple sports.

And it can get very, very expensive financially.

Just membership alone, notwithstanding all the trips around the country in terms of the different games that they're playing, etc., and different teams that they're involved in.

So I understand that it is quite expensive for the sport.

But what I've come across, Clare, is a number of situations where people aren't participating in sport or maybe just playing one sport because of the costs.

And that shouldn't be the case.

So this is one very small measure in the context of the national budget.

Absolutely, housing is the number one priority for this government.

There's €9 billion being invested this year alone.

We need to increase supply.

There's absolutely no question about that.

But this is just a very specific targeted measure that can increase participation in sport and make exercise and sport affordable for families and individuals right across the country.

OK, and you've spoken to Jack Chambers about it, have you?

I've spoken to Jack Chambers.
