Senator Brennan raised the issue of the legal liabilities. The Minister of State addressed that issue last week when he indicated that the legal liabilities would remain with Sport Ireland. He also addressed the issue of the new CEO by stating that it would be a temporary position lasting no longer than one year. This will facilitate the process of transition. I presume this Bill will be signed by the President and enacted at the earliest opportunity. For the sake of continuity, a temporary CEO is being appointed for a one year term and it will then be up to the new board of Sport Ireland to advertise and recruit for the position. The board will decide who to appoint as the new CEO. I understand that no amendment has been tabled on Report Stage.
