Now ‘not the time’ for review

A LEADING Irish Sports Council official has lashed out at criticism from Olympic Council of Ireland’s Chef de Mission, Dermot Henihan, describing the comments as ill-timed and inappropriate.

“If we are going to review performances this is not the appropriate place to review them — during the Olympic Games,” Finbarr Kirwan, High Performance Manager with the ISC said.

“There is a time and a place toreview the performances but that’s not right now. The time is when the Games are complete and people have had a time to reflect. Then we’ll do a full review.”
