‘Delighted’ Treacy says all targets were met or exceeded

John Treacy has expressed his satisfaction with the performance of Team Ireland at the 2012 Olympics and welcomed sentiments from Minister of State for Tourism and from Sport Michael Ring that results in London will help augment the sector’s budget.

“We set targets and all the targets were met or exceeded so we are delighted because we got a return on investment,” said Treacy who is chief executive of the Irish Sports Council.

“The money was put in, and we got the return on that investment – the fruits of which we are seeing here now.”
