Key Priorities for Sport Ireland and Impact of Covid-19 on Sports Sector: Sport Ireland
Mr. John Treacy:
Sport Ireland places a strong emphasis on corporate governance of sporting organisations. We have a number of programmes that we run with the IPA and we continue to develop the sports code for governing bodies of sport. We hope to have compliance with everybody by the end of next year. We place a large emphasis on this. We do not have oversight. The Deputy referred to the FAI. We did not have oversight as during the period of time, we were not auditing the FAI's overall finances because we were only giving the association a small bit of money at the time. It was only when the FAI agreed to let us audit that the KOSI auditors went in. That is the background.
