Mr. Hamish Adams:

We have looked at it. Sport Ireland and the federation are both very good at trying to collaborate on those types of things. A specific example that arose at the federation board meeting was around GDPR whereby it was a question of whether we could employ consultant who could put some generic GDPR policy and structures in place that we could then distribute out to the 100 local sports partnerships and national governing bodies of sport. Ms O'Connor can probably tell the members more because she spoke to the solicitors on this, but they flatly said "No, it must be done individually". In theory, there are 100 national governing bodies of sport and local sports partnerships which should all be buying in a consultant for between €3,000 to €5,000 or more, depending on the size, to be fully compliant because we are not experts in the area. Up to €500,000 is now gone from a limited budget in any event, across all sports, so that is a major challenge.
