I turn to the suspension of funding by Sport Ireland. Another sporting organisation, the then Olympic Council of Ireland, has previously appeared before this committee. At that time, Sport Ireland suspended its funding and did not restore it until there was a change of personnel and the configuration of the board. If that is a requirement, will Mr. Conway and his fellow board members stand down to protect important activities, including participation in school football and education, that is, what Sport Ireland's funding is spent on?
