That is affair question. We should have that contingency. We should anticipate whatever might be said by the Attorney General. If he says we should not release the report under any circumstances, we would have to consider that very seriously. The knock-on effect that would have on Sport Ireland funding the OCI would have to be considered as a matter of urgency and consequent action should be taken in response to that. I do not think we could hang around to wait for the report to be issued or for something to happen in Brazil. We would then have to ensure the athletes are looked after and funding provided. It should not hinder in any way the Irish team going to the Olympic Games in 2020.
