I thank all the witnesses and particularly Dr. Daly and Ms Kerrane. I am very conscious that becoming volunteer members of a board, particularly during a difficult transition period, must be acknowledged. It should be acknowledged that Cycling Ireland is more than just the board. It is about the members and cyclists on the ground. The good work by all the volunteers in the country must be recognised and deserves to continue to be supported. Serious concerns have been raised around governance. They are of more concern to the members of Cycling Ireland as they are to ourselves who must pose questions on behalf of taxpayers.

I appreciate that there are legal issues with the BDO report, which was commissioned in February 2022. When might we expect to see the BDO report published and the details around the EvoPro issue being made public? I appreciate that it is subject to legal concerns.

On the KOSI audit report on governance, is Cycling Ireland satisfied with its progress and that the three outstanding recommendations are made?

My main questions are for Sport Ireland. The last time we had an issue around a governing body was when Dr. May's predecessor John Treacy was here and we discussed the IABA. I asked whether we had another FAI-type situation. As events have transpired, it may have been even worse but he denied that would be the case. Apart from IABA and Cycling Ireland are there any other NGBs about which Sport Ireland has serious governance concerns? Who are they and what actions will be undertaken on that?
