On that point, Sport Ireland and the Department should be able to assist us on best practice in other countries, the changes needed, how they can prevent these issues from arising again and the penalties that should be imposed. If there is a dearth in terms of corporate enforcement, the books are not being kept properly and Sport Ireland is not told about these matters, it is absolutely unacceptable. A question arises about auditors who did not audit the books. If they were assigned audits and engaged in due diligence, the issues would not have arisen or would have been discovered. I agree absolutely with Deputy Munster.
