Mr. Phil Doyle:

We have to pay a levy for competitions and camps. The athletes pay 23% of the overall cost of these vital camps out of the funding we receive. A person who is not receiving that funding is charged €600 to go to Italy for three weeks and to kill himself or herself in a boat. It is difficult to come to terms with that. For the camp before the recent world championships and the world championships themselves, we received a bill for going. It is pay-for-play for medals. That is something that could be looked at and changed to provide additional funding to cover the athlete's payment for going to the competition. I know some athletes in other sports and they have never heard of this idea of paying a levy.
