Most people would acknowledge that the code of corporate governance that Sport Ireland laid down for implementation in 2021 is intended for voluntary organisations, such as a local boxing or athletics club. The FAI, however, is a professional body. It employs professional people and has a turnover of €50 million per annum. It is not a local voluntary organisation. As a consequence, it has responsibility under company law to carry out corporate governance. Does Mr. Conway not accept that?
