I refer to the document sent to the committee by the delegation last week in respect of governance issues, strategies and challenges. It states that members of the FAI ratified the introduction of an eight-year term limit for board members, which is at variance with the three-year terms. The submission indicates that as part of rule changes and to avoid immediate loss of experience and expertise from the board, it was agreed that any board member who was the chairperson of a standing committee or the national league executive committee, and who had served more than ten years on the board, may be re-elected for up to four years. That is what has been agreed with the FAI.
