Dr. Una May:

Briefly, just to say that Sport Ireland’s philosophy has generally been to not use the stick that we have, which is funding, and we are very careful about retaining that as a tool in our armoury for the worst-case scenarios. However, the concept of weighting funding is a different matter and there are innovative ways in which we can incentivise, if I can put it like that, better practices within the NGBs without having to resort to cutting funding. This is something that we can continue to monitor as options going forward. It is very good that we see innovative opportunities and solutions like that.
