The mother of a black girl who was not given a medal at an Irish gymnastics event ceremony says the apology she has received is "useless".
A video emerged recently showing the alleged racist treatment of a young black gymnast being ignored by an official who was handing out medals at an event in Dublin last year.
The mother said watching the incident unfold at the time was "horrendous".
Gymnastics Ireland apologised on Monday "for the upset that has been caused".
In the statement, the governing body said it was "deeply sorry", that it knew it needed to do more to ensure "nothing like this will happen again" and it condemned "any form of racism".
But the mother of the girl said the sports body only publicly apologised after 18 months "because the world wanted them to".
"[The apology is] almost useless," she said. "There was no empathy shown, I feel like it's not true.
"It's been 18 months and it seems like they were pressured to give me an apology.
"I cried for so long and then millions of people cried with me before I could get this."
