Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Covid-19: Impact on Sport in Ireland
Mr. John Treacy:
My advice is that if someone has a concern or question, to talk to their national governing body, NGB, or local sports partnership. What has been set up within sport is second to none. The expert group, which is chaired by Mr. Hogan, provides a mechanism in that the inquires coming through Sport Ireland are fed into the expert group and, through Mr. Hogan, any inquiries that we or the expert group cannot answer are fed into the Department of Health for guidance. That mechanism has worked extremely well. I want to pay tribute to the Department and Mr. Hogan for putting it in place. Sport Ireland is there to help them through that as well, if required. The process has worked extremely well in recent months and the sports have found it extremely helpful.
