The Irish Amateur Swimming Association is resisting calls for it to disband and is expected to tell the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation, Dr McDaid, later today it wants the association's grant of £230,000 restored.
Following a nine-hour crisis meeting yesterday to consider the fallout from the Murphy report into allegations of child sexual abuse in swimming, the association issued a statement stressing its "total determination to implement the recommendations of the Murphy report".
Speaking on RTE last night, Ms Mary O'Malley, president of the IASA, appeared to rule out the prospect of resignations from the association.
However, she promised the IASA would be turned "inside out" and suggested some "new faces" could become involved.
The association is due to present its formal response to the Murphy report to Dr McDaid today.
At yesterday's meeting it began the process of complying with the report's recommendations.
"To deal with the legal, financial, structural and counselling recommendations, a group of professionals are being contacted in the next few days.
"They will assist in devising strategies for implementing these recommendations . . ."
The report by Roderick Murphy SC called for wide-ranging changes to the IASA and detailed the abuse carried out by two prominent coaches who were members of the association.
