Mr. Kieran Mulvey:

I can. This is a legacy issue. The legal expenses incurred by Sport Ireland constitute a legacy issue from a previous organisation called the National Campus Development Authority in a legal case involving the National Aquatic Centre. That is still ongoing. In fact, it was heard again in the High Court after the plaintiff appealed again. It has been ongoing since 2003 and accounts for the vast bulk of that expenditure. It is an inherited legal case that the new body took over regarding the National Sports Campus. It goes back to 2003. I brought my concerns to the attention of four successive Ministers. My concerns were about the continuation of this case and what it was costing and my concern that Sport Ireland should not be obliged to fund this and that it should be funded by the Exchequer directly from the Department because we never authored or brought this case. It is one of these legacy cases. I must be careful as it is still being heard in the High Court but that is where that arises.
