Mr. Ronan Corrigan:

The solution is that the entity put in place with good intentions be instructed and directed to carry out the role it was set up to do. It should not be competing with the affiliates. It was set up as an umbrella body to support the affiliates and it needs to do that, not compete with, or dictate to them. It is there to support them. That is what it is meant to be. It was set up as a conduit to help increase State support to an industry that very much needed it at the time. It is now an industry that is growing and creating more economic activity for the country, creating more jobs, more employment and everything for the country.

The entity set up to do that must start realising that is its function, not competing for its own position as an authority. The affiliates, the NGBs, should have a presence to govern their sports and activities. HSI, as the entity, should exist to support their activities, not try to impinge on the affiliates' ability to carry out their roles.
