Challenges Facing Minority Sports: Discussion
Mr. Neville Maxwell:
Sport Ireland is open to that and we will work with it to try to look after certain athletes who have jumped into that category. Ultimately, it comes back to the number that Ms Carpenter mentioned earlier, of €690,000. We won four world championship medals, three of them in an Olympic category this year alone, but we are significantly underfunded as a sport relative to our peers in other countries. Imagine what we could do if we had double or triple the funding.
