With regard to Sport Ireland I note that we have had issues with the Football Association of Ireland, FAI, with boxing and with the Olympic Council of Ireland, as it then was. In response to a previous question, the witnesses said there were similarities with the Olympic Council of Ireland in that strong personalities are at the helm of these organisations. Would Sport Ireland's representatives agree that personal aggrandisement and nest-feathering by the strong personalities at the helm also seem to be features of these organisations?
