Joint Committee on Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht
Key Priorities for Sport Ireland and Impact of Covid-19 on Sports Sector: Sport Ireland
Mr. John Treacy:
We gave guidelines to sport governing bodies as to how the club resilience fund would be paid. Each governing body in terms of their applications got their allocation. We asked that they set up a sub-committee to assess the applications before they would go to the board for approval. There is a mechanism in place. We asked for the chief executive to give a letter of reassurance that the money was spent for the purposes for which it was given. These would be the two pieces around it. We wanted to make sure there was no conflict of interest in the decisions.
These are the guidelines we gave to the national governing bodies regarding club schemes.
