My question goes back to the point made by Senator O'Mahony regarding the AGM. Obviously, it is a very important event. I understand that the media must submit questions in advance. Why would they do that? I would say there is great support for sport and when one is very forthright, it almost says that everything is all right. It seems very controlled. For example, there have been no questions at recent AGMs. The publication of the FAI's accounts has been a point of criticism by the likes of Niamh Brennan. Would it not be better to publish them on the website? It strikes me that going about it in this way is good governance and avoids questions in the future.
