Nobody in this House has a greater commitment to corporate governance than I have but I want to see a fair procedure here. I will not say anything which would in any way prejudice the clarifications which are being sought by Sport Ireland for me and for me to reveal to the Deputy when they are published. It is very important that a body such as Sport Ireland is left to do this work, to do this properly and to do it thoroughly. Everybody must be properly heard and when we get the results, they will be published by me without fear or favour to anybody and they will be open to the Deputy and to the committee to examine, but it would be utterly wrong for me to answer the questions which the Deputy is asking here because they are being asked, on the Deputy's behalf as well, by Sport Ireland at this very moment and it will report at a very early stage. At that stage, I will make those results open to everybody to discuss and I will be quite happy to comment on them myself.
