I seek clarification on the resignation or removal of members of the board. The Bill states a person shall be disqualified from holding and shall cease to hold office as a member of Sport Ireland or a committee if he or she is judged bankrupt or makes a composition or arrangement with his or her creditors. Why would either of these circumstances prevent someone from being a member of the board? Since our Constitution came into existence until quite recently we had a prohibition on someone standing for either House or being a Member of either House if he or she was judged bankrupt. This has changed. Is it now a fact that people are eligible to stand for either House of the Oireachtas, the Presidency or the European Parliament if they are judged bankrupt but cannot be a member of Sport Ireland if they are judged to be bankrupt or have come to an arrangement with their creditors? I wish to ask about the constitutionality of what is proposed.
