In that case, people cannot ask a question unless they state it beforehand. If I go to the AGM and want to ask about the €100,000, I cannot do so. I cannot ask about governance. I am getting to the point of accountability. All of the young people who play the sport have been mentioned and this is fantastic. Hundreds of thousands of people play the sport every day and every week, their families are dedicated and the children just love it. We all know this and we love to see them participating. They will have no money in the next tranche because the FAI has not satisfied Sport Ireland on its governance.

The children which Mr. Conway rightly talks about are being deprived of the support we want to give them as taxpayers. What is the FAI going to do about it and what governance changes is it going to bring about? He spoke about 2020-21 but who would have anything to do with an organisation that the State refuses to fund on governance grounds?
