Mr. John Delaney:

One need only speak to Mick McCarthy who said he did not recognise the association he left as the one he came back to. That is a direct quote from him. As to the board construction, I remind the Senator that we had 23 people on the board at the time. To reduce that down to ten required a great deal of travelling around to the grassroots. I think Mr. Conway accompanied me. Ultimately, it is a members' association and to reduce the board from 23 to ten, practically overnight as we did, was a well-achieved target. I am not sure of the date, but perhaps Ms Walshe can check it for a future time. However, I brought Genesis in subsequently and it gave the association a very strong bill of health as to how it had transformed itself.
