Minister for Sport Thomas Byrne does not agree with potential return of Russia and Belarus
Byrne, speaking at the Sport Ireland announcement of €16 million in core funding for the 58 national governing bodies of Irish sport, indicated the move was for now in the hands of the IOC.
“But our ask of governing bodies, and people who own sporting events, and without interfering with them, because at the end of the day, we’re not in favour of that, but asking them not to facilitate the participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes.” “We shouldn’t be facilitating that, and the Government certainly won’t be facilitating that. At the end of the day national governing bodies, and international governing bodies, have to make their own decisions, and with the Olympics,the French authorities as well.
