I want to start by asking Mr. Delaney some questions. Obviously, he can choose whether or not to answer them but I find this process quite frustrating because the public certainly would have believed that the person who is most prominent and associated with the FAI would be here today answering some questions about the issues under debate. Mr. Delaney might want to consider clearing things up. I will start by asking him whether he thinks this is the most serious situation the FAI has been in with regard to the withdrawal of funding by Sport Ireland. I will start with that question and follow it up.
