Sporting bodies split over Beijing Review

THE Irish Sports Council (ISC) and the Olympic Council of Ireland (OCI) appear to be on a collision course over the Beijing Review which is already under way.

Sporting bodies split over Beijing Review

The review will be presented to the government as soon as it is completed but a spokesman for the OCI said yesterday that they won’t be involved and will carry out their own review.

Finbarr Kirwan, Performance Manager with the ISC, said they will be disappointed if the OCI don’t participate: “We have spent €34 million on the Olympic and Paralympic programmes over the past four years and we’d like to think we’ve got a very good return from the investment.”
