Mr. Denis Duggan:

Typically, it is not. It varies. I will focus on Eventing Ireland. We have an agreement with Eventing Ireland that it will make an additional contribution next year because of additional costs in the context of the Olympics. To be fair there will be an increased amount of money from Eventing Ireland next year for that. There is also a desire on the part of both HSI and Eventing Ireland to formulate an agreement so that we all have certainty over the quantum of money in each of the years following from Paris right through to the LA games four years later.

In the context of Showjumping Ireland we have not received funding this year for the showjumping programme. It contributed to the programme up to last year. We are uncertain as to whether a contribution will come from it for 2023 or not. At the moment, the programme is fully funded by Sport Ireland plus whatever contribution we can make from our own resources.
