I am aware that the Irish Sports Council (ISC) established a review group to examine the preparations and performances at the 2008 Beijing Games in order to prepare for the 2012 London Games. The completion and publication of this review is a matter for the ISC.

As I stated in my reply to Questions Nos. 41242/08, 41248/08 and 41250/08 on 19th November 2008, the corporate and legislative positions of each of the Institutions is being examined with a view to drawing up heads of a Bill to give effect to the legislative changes. These changes will include amendment of the National Cultural Institutions Act, 1997, National Archives Act 1986 and the National Gallery Acts, 1854 to 1963 in addition to the creation of new legislative provisions. It will be a detailed and multi-faceted piece of legislation and I cannot give a date at this stage for the finalisation of the Heads.
