Talking about rockets, I think it was a journalist called Mark Tighe who actually started putting a rocket some places, and fair play to him because that is where the whole lot came from and initially drove everything.
I am delighted that Mr. Treacy and Mr. Mulvey are supporting the Minister, Deputy Ross' letter of yesterday evening. I presume that is also the Government's stand and his Department's stand. I am delighted to see that Sport Ireland, the Department, the Minister and the Government are together on that, which is a very important message.
In regard to the EGM next Saturday, 20 July, and the AGM on 27 July, at this stage, surely, they need to be postponed, particularly in light of this letter. Would the witnesses agree with that? I suggest it be postponed for three to six months. I will not go through all of the details as to why it should be postponed because that has been extrapolated here but I would value the opinion of the witnesses.
