The Council of Europe Anti-Doping Convention was opened for signature on 16 November 1989 at the 85th Session of the Committee of Ministers. Ireland signed the convention in 1992 and now, with the introduction of the national anti-doping programme by the Irish Sports Council, hopes to be in a position to ratify the convention in due course. Legislation will not be required.
