Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media

Governance and Related Issues in Cycling Ireland: Discussion

Mr. Paul McDermott:

There are a couple of sports which we are working with at the moment to address issues which have arisen in governance. I would like to make another general point. The pandemic and that period of our lives which we have emerged from raised certain fractures in certain sports. Again, it is about these relationships between members, executives and boards. We are working through them. I would be confident in the next three or four months, by the autumn, that a couple of sports which are currently experiencing difficulties will see those difficulties resolved. They certainly will not want to come here or get into the public domain. I would not to give a blanket statement that there are no issues. There are always issues. We are always working with sports. I certainly hope nothing will come before the committee. We have KOSI audits which we are working through. We have had other independent reviews into governing bodies. We are working through them step by step with the help of the boards. I am confident that any issues I am dealing with today will be resolved in a matter of weeks.
