Mr. John Treacy:

In 2008, Gary Keegan came over and worked for the Irish Institute of Sport. We put our foot down and stepped in when a candidate was picked who we believed did not have the ability to do the job of director of high performance. I am not quite sure what the circumstances were in terms of what offer was made to the candidate in question but he went off and did another job. Billy Walsh essentially did two jobs. In 2012, we were told that Mr. Walsh's terms were to be enhanced and I believe he was promised enhanced terms. I also believe, however, that his terms were never enhanced. It must be remembered that Sport Ireland is not the employer.
