I was going to say the Genesis report was in 2002 but not all of the recommendations of that report were implemented. Some of the witnesses have been on the board since 2002. It appears none of them has seen fit to ensure all those recommendations were implemented, including the appointment of two non-executive independent board members.

I want to ask Mr. Conway about the creation of the new role for John Delaney. Given all the information has come to light, including Sport Ireland not being informed of the financial difficulties in accordance with the conditions for grant approval; the €100,000 loan was not in the account; the board members who are expected to hold the CEO to account were also not informed, as Mr. Conway stated, does he think it was appropriate to create a new position for the former CEO? Does he, as president of the FAI, think that is good governance? Does it send out a good message? Was it a good decision by the board? Some people might say it appears that the FAI, as it currently stands, is not fit for purpose.
