Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media
Inclusion in Sport: Discussion
Mr. Miche?l ? Conaire:
-----around an application process and they engage with clubs and try to assist them to get the best possible application in. That is something we have been trying to address. We have addressed it to a certain extent and it has been quite successful in the past number of years. Dr. May mentioned earlier that Sport Ireland is not a regulatory body. There are two things here. If a crime has been committed in some way, shape or form, that is a matter for An Garda Síochána. If something of that nature happens where there needs to be a formal complaint made, it needs to be taken up and there is a legal route there. Sports Ireland is a sports development agency and the whole idea is to develop the sports sector. Dr. May could add a bit more to that but it is a question of what sort of incident we are talking about.
