Mr. John Treacy:

I will repeat some of the points I made previously at the committee. We normally give out the funding for the national governing bodies, NGBs, in January. The three main field sports are a bit later. It is not unusual to start giving out money in January to the NGBs.

Every year, we received a letter from the FAI's auditor to say the funds were expended for the purposes for which they were given. We sent in our own auditors and the audits came back clean as well. We did follow up on the public funding and every time we got a letter back to say the funding was expended for the purposes for which it was given.
