But even then, Dundalk got what, 7 million in prize money, for the best European campaign in LOI hsitory? I'm not trying to play down that amount, but Desmond is a billionaire, and I'd imagine he has much bigger fish to fry.
I'm fairly skeptical of the idea that there is much philanthropy involved from a guy with no history of interest in LOI, but I can't see how he stands to make significant money (significant for him anyway) out of it.
