Mr. Kieran Mulvey:

Yes, I would feel that. It is hard to find an example where one would have a joint CEO. My experience in the past is that where trade unions amalgamated one would have for a period a joint general secretary or general president until the integration of the organisation. In some business organisations, one would have an executive chairman and a chief executive officer etc. but largely, in business management theory and practice, there is one CEO, chief executive officer, who has a reporting function to the board and, as Mr. Treacy indicated, has responsibility for the operation of the organisation. It is hard to see it.

Our information is - it is as much information as the committee or the public has because we have not seen the Jonathan Hall report - that this post was identified in that report. We are reading this at third hand, we have asked for the report, we need to obtain it and we have not obtained it to date. If that report stated there needed to be a separation out of the functions, the chief executive had too great a workload, Mr. Delaney had been elected to the UEFA executive and then seemed to have been undertaken in this role, it appears, from what we read, he would be using his position within UEFA and within the FAI to attract to the country international competitions. In common with Northern Ireland and with the football associations, FAs, of England, Scotland and Wales, he would be using his position within UEFA and with what used to be called the home countries to attract international competition. We do not know. I can only surmise he does not have a role in the national game or the national organisation beyond that. However, I am at sea, the same as the committee.
