The Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) was the most successful of the âbig threeâ sports in getting Covid-related funding from the state last year, according to documents released under freedom of information to the Sunday Times.
The rugby association asked for up to â¬20 million and received â¬18 million, or 90 per cent of what it requested, while the GAA sought almost â¬44 million and was allocated â¬30.8 million, 70 per cent of what it wanted.
The Football Association of Ireland, which received a bailout of â¬52.5 million in January 2020, later sought â¬19.2 million from the Covid relief scheme and was given about two-thirds of this, or â¬13 million.

Johannesburg - Despite assurances from the SABC that the broadcaster has begun paying out severance packages to retrenched former employees, unions say former staffers remain concerned about delays.
The SABC issued a statement on Saturday saying rumours that it was unable to pay salaries for its employees were unfounded.
“The SABC would like to categorically refute the allegation that it is not able to pay the salaries of its employees. The corporation has a comprehensive and established cash management process in place that is aligned with best practice,” said the organisation’s acting spokesperson Mmoni Seapolelo.

Despite being in Easton, the playground is in Lawrence Hill ward, which overwhelmingly voted in two Labour candidates into City Hall in 2016.
The ward encompasses a hugely varied area: from the glass offices buildings of Temple Quay to the industry of St Philip’s Marsh, from the tower blocks of Barton Hill to the terraced streets off Stapleton Road.
