Is that not correct?
- Joint Committee on Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht: Key Priorities for Sport Ireland and Impact of Covid-19 on Sports Sector: Sport Ireland (18 Nov 2020)
Marc MacSharry: That is the answer. Time is short. Mr. Treacy is obviously aware of the guidelines. I have them before me. They refer to a maximum of eight years and two terms.
