Dr. Tom Daly:

I think Cycling Ireland is very conscious of the different traditions on the island. The current federation was established in the 1980s from an amalgamation of a 26-county federation, a six-county federation and a 32-county federation. There is a big historical context. There is also recognition that some riders from the North identify with British cycling. There is an arrangement between Cycling Ireland and British Cycling around all of that. All that is very much respected. The idea that we may not be able to hold meetings in Northern Ireland would not occur to anybody in Cycling Ireland. We are fully integrated. There is no difference.
