All the inquiries about ticket touting seemed to piled up because of the court case. Let us leave it at that. Is there a danger that these inquiries will never be published?

Deputy Kevin O'Keeffe mentioned betting. Were all of the athletes at the Olympic Games briefed beforehand about not being involved in betting? There were a couple of incidents in which the rule was broken.

It was mentioned in the presentations that adhering to the governance code was voluntary. If organisations are receiving funding, why should it be voluntary?

If Mr. Galvin does not have time to answer these questions because of the time constraints, particularly on the day to day monitoring of governing bodies, I would like more detailed answers to be forwarded to the committee.
