Does it worry the Minister that an organisation like the FAI, which governs the largest participative sport in the country, still blatantly ignores the recommendation from the independent Genesis report from about 13 years ago that it have independent directors on its board. What the FAI did was extend the age at which somebody could be on the board to facilitate a person on the board. There is very little turnover. What can the Minister do about that? Will there be sanctions in respect of this mandatory code? What would those sanctions be or does the Minister have an input into them?
