I was going to name them. I have their names listed here. I will say their names because it is important to me. Nicky Colgan, Gary Kelly and Ian Harte were all reared by Dave and people like him. Right around the country, all those young people who succeed locally, regionally and nationally are driven by people like Dave. The point I am making relates to the point I made earlier, that is, that the corporate governance in Mr. Conway's organisation is totally inadequate, and that is why it is not getting the funding. The regime change I am talking about is what people need. They need it, and need it now. If they do not get it, the association will be in a serious crisis. I am concerned because the sponsors and public are looking at this. There is a lot of uncertainty. To ensure certainty, the best thing the board members could do is move on. If they did so and new people came in, the association could turn around. Consider how the Olympic Council of Ireland changed. I am aware that individuals will make sacrifices if they make a decision to move on but it is needed. That is the impression I am getting from everybody. We have to talk to the rest of the people. I appreciate there is not much time left. The picture in my mind is of all the young people going out to play this evening and on Saturday. Their parents accompany them, drive them, buy them football boots and go through the tough life of a parent looking after young children. That is the message I have to give the delegates from the people who talk to me. I appreciate their listening to me.

There are 15 minutes left. I want to make another couple of points. I acknowledge there are others who wish to contribute but I am doing my very best. We have been here for nine hours and the delegates have been here for eight. I understand that and I want to be fair to everybody. Deputy Jonathan O'Brien had a question that was not answered. It is not that it was not answered purposely. It was on whether the €100,000 was mentioned in the monthly financial accounts. Do we have the answer to that?
