Mr. Seán Fleming:

I mentioned this in my submission. The difficulties we have do not relate to compliance, with which we totally agree. The problem involves getting the time to do it. We have just changed our constitution and that took nearly a year and a half. I can only speak for ourselves, but I presume most organisations are the same. The executives of the various sports cannot just do it themselves, the matter has to go back to the members and everything needs to be done properly. In order to comply with the different regulations coming in, it almost means rewriting all our policies. One wants to do things right. We are on the road towards compliance and I believe we have until 1 January 2020 in that regard. We will meet that deadline but it will mean going back to school and staying up all night doing homework and things like that because most of us are volunteers. We have 1.5 members of staff. Their work load is saturated currently, so we have to take it on. The problem is time.
