The way we have been doing it involves asking and answering. Does Mr. Delaney think it is the most serious situation the FAI has been in? If so, does he acknowledge his role in bringing about that situation? I know he said that he will not answer questions about his time as CEO but he was the most prominent person in the organisation. Given the lack of financial viability of the FAI, which is under this committee's remit, looking back, does Mr. Delaney think that his salary, expenses and remuneration may have played any role in that? We are talking about 2017, which is the year in which this shortfall took place and was not reported and a loan had be acquired. That is the same year in which the women's team went on strike or threatened to go on strike. It joined a union. The team was changing in toilets, sharing tracksuits, etc. I wondered whether Mr. Delaney might want to comment on that situation. Then I have some other questions.
