Mr. Kieran Mulvey:

We do not have legal authority to achieve it. Good practice and good governance would suggest that Sport Ireland would be informed of two matters: the specification, and whether we had any commentary to make on it given our experience and expertise in the area; and whether we had any role on the interview board or any other arrangement. Sometimes we have had that role. Sometimes there is a conundrum as to whether it is a good idea to be on a selection board. Certainly, our view here would be the appointment should conform to what obtains in public appointments systems or proper board companies. That would follow the code of practice for the appointment of chief executive. Largely, that is a British code on corporate governance. There are ways of doing this right and it should be done right.
