Mr. Kieran Mulvey:

I think Deputy MacSharry is misinterpreting the guidelines. I was appointed chairman of Sport Ireland with the approval of the Oireachtas, the committee and the Government in 2015 under the Sport Ireland Act. It was a new corporate body. Under that Act, I serve for five years. It is at the discretion of the Minister that board members, including myself, may be reappointed for a further five years but with a full limit. New guidelines were brought in recently stating that there should be a term limit of eight years. My reappointment is within those term limits.
