It would be interesting to get the Department's perspective, with both organisations being distinct. When we had representatives of the HRI before the committee, they more or less adopted the position that the regulatory board was best positioned to choose how to tackle doping, say, in the sport. One got the impression HRI was not too bothered and had little or no interest in it. Attendees might remember the €9 million that was allocated for CCTV and was not spent. It was spent on an integrity licensing system, despite the fact doping was ongoing. If HRI was not interested, does the Department have an interest in this?
