The recent basketball match with Israel received considerable focus. It should not have gone ahead. In 2022, Basketball Ireland’s CEO stated that Basketball Ireland "would not fulfil its Women's EuroBasket 2023 qualifier against Belarus ... due to their support of Russia and the ongoing war in Ukraine" and “Our stance was supported by ... Sport Ireland”. Is Dr. May aware of that statement?
