Mr. Donal Conway:

The Genesis report was published in 2002. We adopted many of its recommendations and set about speaking to the members of the wider football family in respect of their implementation. We changed the board from 23 members to ten and we changed our standing committees. At that stage, we felt that the former CEO had been a key part in moving the Genesis report. As the former CEO outlined, I was part of the team that went around on a consultation exercise to ensure the implementation of the Genesis report. At that time, we felt that it served us best to have the CEO as a member of the board.
