In a nutshell, Sport Ireland has been in the position since 2016 that it cannot release funding to the Olympic Council of Ireland, OCI, while the Moran report sits in the Office of the Attorney General. Some 25% of the OCI's funding in 2016 was not drawn down and the funding for 2017 will not even be considered by the board until the Moran report is published. There is an urgency about this. I listened to the Minister's earlier response but that, in a nutshell, is a really serious problem.
