Former President of Cycling Ireland Liam Collins has issued legal proceedings against Cycling Ireland relating to his historical role in the authentication of UCI continental racing licences, which was dealt with in the BDO Report. Cycling Ireland considers the legal action to be both vexatious and unmeritorious. The consequence of Mr Collins' action means that inevitably the valuable and limited resources of Cycling Ireland will be diverted away from our primary purpose. Given the ongoing proceedings we are not in a position to make further comment at this time.
