Governance and Related Issues in Cycling Ireland: Discussion

Dr. Tom Daly:

Just as a slight matter of detail, they were registered. In terms of the process used, there were inaccuracies as I understand it in Cycling Ireland's registration process. It has undoubtedly done reputational damage in line with the other issues. The only thing we can do, as we have done with all these issues, is to uncover the facts, not to hide anything, to be transparent, to deal with immediate issues and to deal with the background structural, cultural or regulatory issues within the organisation that allowed these things to arise in the first place. We are dealing with that at the various levels. There have been disciplinary proceedings in relation to that within the staff, which I cannot comment on individually, but Cycling Ireland did not shrink from its responsibilities in that regard. BDO is looking into it in more detail. Once we were informed about it, we engaged immediately with the UCI and informed it of the issue and that engagement is ongoing with it on the issue.
