[16061/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraSwim Ireland and the Olympic Council of Ireland are not governmental bodies. They are autonomous sports organisations and I have no role or responsibility in this matter. However, given the sensitivities of the case, I have expressed my concerns in person to the CEOs of both these bodies.
The Deputy may be interested to know that the Olympic Council of Ireland issued astatement on this matter on 2 March 2012. The statement is available on their website www.olympicsport.ie.
