Mr. John Treacy:

There certainly were issues that were identified in the London Olympics debrief. One was to provide resources in terms of coaching, which was provided by the Irish Sports Council. Another was to provide the resources for an operations manager behind Billy Walsh in high performance sport. That funding was provided. However, we learned during the course of the year that this operations manager was reporting to the chief executive officer, not Billy Walsh. That was not in the spirit of what was intended. The other issue was the provision of a facility where high performance boxers could train with plenty of room. That has been provided and is in the process of completion in Abbotstown. Those were the pieces from the debriefing that we wanted to be put in place. The other issue in terms of the tension between the high performance area and the rest of the IABA have not yet been addressed. We hope that will happen and we will work with the IABA to ensure it happens.

I would also like to acknowledge that there have been some positive developments within the IABA. There is some good corporate governance around the finance area, which we would have been worried about quite some time ago. In fairness to the IABA chairperson, he has done very good work in ensuring there are good processes in place around this. That was a serious issue that was addressed and I compliment him on that. We are very clear that we will work very closely with the IABA over the next year to ensure there will be no impact whatsoever on any boxer who qualifies for the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
