I wish finish on a positive note. I welcome the observations of the IABA and Sport Ireland to the effect that they want to get this matter resolved and ensure that nothing similar ever happens again and also that the preparation for Rio and other boxing tournaments will not be affected. It is incumbent on both organisations to deal with the issues rather than the personalities. I hope we might be here for a review after the Rio Olympic Games and that we will be discussing our athletes winning another bucket-load of medals.

I thank Mr. Joe Christle, Mr. Pat Ryan, Mr. Fergal Carruth, Mr. Ciaran Kirwan, Mr. John Treacy, Mr. Kieran Mulvey, Mr. Liam Sheedy and Mr. Bernard Allen for engaging with us today. It was important for the public that the issues raised in the media in recent weeks were articulated here. This has been a useful exercise. As there is no other business, I hereby adjourn the meeting.
