I move amendment No. 11:

In page 26, to delete lines 26 to 38, and in page 27, to delete lines 1 and 2 and substitute the following:“Persons engaged in sport

44. (1) This section applies to a person to which the Irish Anti-Doping Rules apply.

(2) A person that fails to comply with the Irish Anti-Doping Rules shall not, subject to those Rules, be eligible—

(a) for funding from Sport Ireland, or

(b) to represent the State in sport.”.

This amendment is to simplify the definition of who must comply with the Irish anti-doping rules. The question of to whom the rules apply will be set out in the rules rather than the Bill. Sport Ireland will have responsibility for making the Irish anti-doping rules and setting out to whom the rules apply. The existing Irish anti-doping rules, under the Irish Sports Council, work in this way.
