Key Priorities for Sport Ireland and Impact of Covid-19 on Sports Sector: Sport Ireland
Mr. John Treacy:
What we do in sport to try to leave the politics out of it. Every sportsperson takes that approach and we take the same approach. If there are human rights issues, it is a matter for the Government and it will make those decisions. Sport needs to get on with it as best we can. We were in Beijing in 2008 as the Senator knows. Sometimes sporting organisations have games that would not be my pick but we go to them.
