Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Sport in Ireland - Challenges, Strategies and Governance: Sport Ireland and the Federation of Irish Sport

Mr. John Treacy:

When we adopted the code, we were approaching governing bodies to embrace it and get them to sign up to it. In 2016 the Minister said that we need to move this along quicker and we need all the governing bodies to be signed up, to comply or explain this by 2020. It has moved from that to a mandatory adoption of the code. It is going in that direction. As Ms Keane says, there are a lot of pieces to it. It is a detailed piece of work, and we are dealing with many different types of organisations. Some are small, some are big, but we have a tiered system around it. We will be working towards it.
