It is about good governance and adhering to the terms and conditions of State grant approvals. It is from this aspect that I ask.

Other committee members have asked about sanctions. I was going to ask what specific sanction Sport Ireland will impose. It was stated earlier that it will be a matter for the board to decide and that those who need the money are the ones who risk being deprived of it. Nobody wants to see this happen but, at the same time, I got the distinct impression that if Sport Ireland is not satisfied and it goes to the board meeting next Tuesday, there will be no sanctions.
