I thank the Minister of State for his answers so far. The Schedule states the board will have a number of committees reporting to it and the members of the committees do not have to be members of the board of Sport Ireland. I wish to ask specifically about the chairpersons of the committees. Does the Minister of State have any view on whether they should be from the board of Sport Ireland? I particularly reference the anti-doping committee as the appointment in this regard will be very important. Will the board pick people itself to be members of the committees? If this is the case I will not support it. When the committees are established, it is important to have people with the required experience and knowledge in each area. I would hate to think any of the committees would be simply appointments of the board itself. Will the Minister of State let me know how he sees it working?
