Mr. John Treacy:

It was not made from public funding. Any funding we provided for the OCI was for previously agreed staff salaries and programmes. We budgeted for each of the programmes, including training camps, the European Youth Olympic Festival, EYOF, in Holland, visits to Rio de Janeiro and so on. The funding was for specific programmes that cared for athletes funded by Sports Ireland, with some salaries within the OCI. We are clear on what we spent in conjunction with OCI. Funding was not spent on honorary payments.
