Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Sports Capital Programme: Discussion

1:30 pm

Mr. Paul McDermott:

Sport has always been very good. We have always had complete support on, for example, anti-doping programmes and child protection. The governing bodies want to work with us and we have tried to ensure that we work with all the sports. Some years ago, there was a requirement to put in disciplinary procedures within the constitutions. We worked so that could be done across the governing bodies at a minimum cost. Where it is possible we do it, but it may not always be possible. We try to do shared services and do things with the federation and governing bodies where we can but it is not always possible. We try to address it as best we can.
