Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation (Dr. McDaid):

While achieving fourth place in the skeleton event at the Salt Lake City Winter Olympic Games is an outstanding achievement, I have no plans to honour either the athlete in question or any of the other athletes which participated in the games.
