On the issue of funding, Ms Keane has said the OCI is hamstrung. Its priority is the athletes, which obviously must continue to remain the case. Sports Ireland has stated repeatedly during the controversy in the past 12 months that it is fully confident that all of the money made available to the OCI - Mr. Treacy repeated it again this morning - went towards specific programmes, training camps and administration costs. In Ms Keane's opinion, is the withholding of the funding impeding the development of our athletes?
