Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Report into Ticketing at Rio Olympic Games: Discussion (Resumed)

9:00 am

Ms Sarah Keane:

I will attempt to answer the questions as openly and transparently as I can.

In answer to Senator John O'Mahony, there are four members who were part of the previous executive, three of whom had been members for just under two years at the time of the Rio games. The other person had been a member for substantially longer. All of them were elected properly by the membership at the EGM in February. All 13 members of the board are fully united on the reform agenda.

The Senator will have to ask the relevant individuals about their resignations. They would have had to resign in writing and would have had to send their letters to the acting president of the time. I suspect their reasons were varied. I stayed on the board and will explain the reason in one minute. I am not aware of a history of people resigning, but as I have been on the board for a very limited time, I do not know much of the detail in that regard.
