Shane Ross (Dublin Rathdown, Independent) | Oireachtas source

Deputy Troy has asked the question, if I may reply. We have to make a judgment on this and wait for the advice of the Attorney General. That is something for which I am prepared to wait and it is imminent.

I will also answer the Deputy's question on the budget of OCI. This is a matter for Sport Ireland but I will tell the Deputy what I know about it. I think it is in the public arena. Sport Ireland has not funded the OCI because it is also waiting for the publication of the report. Sport Ireland has made that clear publicly. If it has not, I am telling the Deputy right now. That is the position. Obviously, we would have to look at it again at some stage if the report were not published. For the moment, however, let us just see if we can get the report out into the open. That is our objective.
