Governance and Funding of Football Association of Ireland: Discussion

I wish to ask the representatives of Sport Ireland the same question I asked the Minister. It relates to the FAI accounts for 2017 which were submitted in October 2018 and signed off on by the auditors. Do they not find it strange that it took until last week for the auditors to realise there was an issue which needed to be brought to the attention of the Companies Registration Office? Would it be a fair assessment that, perhaps, they were not given all of the relevant information? In the representatives' opinion, will the two reviews being undertaken by Grant Thornton Ireland and Mazars be able to determine whether the board gave all of the relevant financial documentation to the auditors to enable them to sign off on accurate accounts?
