I wish Dr. May every success in her role. It is a big job and I have no doubt she will be top-class in it.

Credit is due to Cycling Ireland for the gender balance on the new board, which is really important. The accredited marshal scheme is in place in the Six Counties. Will the witnesses flesh out where they are at on the introduction of the same scheme in the Twenty-six Counties?

The velodrome was mentioned. What stage of development is this? Is a completion date in sight?

Over the weekend Irish Athletic Boxing Association, IABA, members voted against changing its constitution to allow meetings in the North. Is this an issue that either Cycling Ireland or Sport Ireland have? Are they willing or looking to bring change so that they can have EGMs or AGMs in the Six Counties? Is it an issue that they have or are they seeking to resolve it? Would Sport Ireland send a communication to all the NGBs which have an all-Ireland remit to ensure they recalibrate their constitutions to allow them to have meetings across the island of Ireland. It sends out a really negative message if that is not done.
