I propose to take Questions Nos. 102 and 103 together.
The recommendation of the Eligibility Committee of the Irish Sports Council (ISC) must first be considered formally at a plenary meeting of the Council before it can inform the organisation in writing of its decision. It is expected that this recommendation will be discussed at the next meeting of the Irish Sports Council, which is scheduled for 16 October 2007. When a decision is taken, a letter will immediately issue to the organisation in question to inform it of the decision of the Eligibility Committee.
Eligibility is based on complying with a number of criteria and while there is no formal appeals mechanism, sports organisations may reapply if the situation has changed from their previous application and if, therefore, they consider themselves to be satisfying all the eligibility criteria. The international sporting federation referred to is the Federation Colombophile Internationale.
