We will continue to focus on this matter. As I said, officials from Sport Ireland will continue to engage with their counterparts in Athletics Ireland and Sport Northern Ireland. We have had some limited discussion and correspondence with Minister Hargey when she was in her previous role. Obviously, we have a shared objective on this across the island. We will continue to engage at our level to reflect both our position and the broad cross-party consensus across the Houses on this matter to which the Senator referred. I will keep at it. We will continue to engage in order to get the governing bodies from Athletics Ireland and UK Athletics to work together to see whether there is a possibility of resolving this matter at an international level. I appreciate the Senator raising this matter today.
