Ms Deirdre Mortell:

Regarding Irish readiness for a pilot, this has been the purpose of the feasibility study funded by the EIB here. The first phase is complete. It was found that there is a demand for philanthropy to move into this space and a demand from the Government to move into outcomes-driven funding. We have gone that far. The second phase is just about to start. This will explore how we can design a pilot SOC in Ireland and where we should do it. All the arrows are pointing at sport.
