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

Governance and Related Issues in Cycling Ireland: Discussion

Dr. Tom Daly:

In response to your question about a high performance director, Vice Chairman, the need for that was highlighted in various reports, including a review of the last Olympic cycle. Also, one of the issues very much highlighted by the KOSI report was overreach by board members in the past into operational issues such as high performance. The appointment of a high performance director is part of addressing that. That was an appointment made through a competition. The high performance subcommittee is in the process of being formed. The composition of the subcommittee is not complete yet. Invitations have been sent out for members with relevant expertise. That subcommittee of the board will be an advisory subcommittee. In other words, there will be involvement by board members, or it will be influenced by board members, in team selections and high performance selections. All of that will be separated. It is part of the building of the key infrastructure in moving high performance forward.
