Mr. Donal Conway:

I am not sure what the regularity of audit is for the other major field sports, for example, or for other sports in general. The Senator mentioned that we had audits in 2010, 2014, 2016 and we are due an audit this year. I really do not know how much that is out of step with other sporting bodies. We have made it clear today that we seek the first tranche of money early each year. Programmes are in place. It is difficult for me to answer the question of why Sport Ireland would do that. We may have supplied the audits and the outcome of those audits do not trigger any significant concern on the part of Sport Ireland. We may not be very out of step with other sporting bodies but I do not know.
