Mr. Conway's language keeps changing but the money stays the same. If it was me, I would say it was always a short-term loan. In his statement of 5 May, he said concerns were expressed that some press releases did not accurately reflect the board's level of awareness of the existence of the €100,000. People on the board did not know about it and this is the ethical issue at the core of the problem. Notwithstanding the finances we have here, I ask whether I would want my children to get involved tomorrow. People want real change and I cannot overemphasise that.
Would it help to build confidence if the FAI commissioned an independent forensic audit of the organisation? Would Mr. Conway commit to such a thing?
