I welcome all the witnesses and thank Dr. May for her opening statement.

I will start with that issue of governance. It is a mistake that Sport Ireland is not a regulatory body but has a leadership position in governance. I suppose, as a key funder, Sport Ireland also has an additional tool in the toolbox. That was seen, probably most recently, in the area of boxing. I should preface my remarks by saying that I believe boxing is a fantastic sport that often reaches into communities not reached by other sporting organisations.

No doubt last year was a difficult year for Irish boxing and saw the departure of key talent from the high performance unit. I wonder if Dr. May could update the committee in regards to where governance in Irish boxing is now. Sport Ireland welcomed the results of the second EGM and the MacNeice report, etc. Where are things now, seven months on from that?
