In the last Olympics, we did well. It was a record year for us in athletics for finishing in the top 20. It is progressing. We have good preparations but we would not want to start losing our coaches because of budget cuts or something like that. At the next Olympics, we have a fantastic chance of doing well. Let us give Sport Ireland every opportunity so that Ireland can do well in the next Olympics.
