The broader point at which I am trying to drive is that while certain line items in the terms of reference may not be within the expertise of Sports Ireland or its purview, I see it as valuable that Sport Ireland will at least have a copy of the terms of reference, get to sign off on them and that that is the agreed process. I also believe there would be no harm in the committee seeing the line items.

By the time Sport Ireland met the FAI yesterday, two board members had stepped aside. Why did all of the board members who were aware of the breach of company law not step aside? A list was placed before the committee based on my answers last week. The names included the interim CEO who admitted she was aware of it in passing. Why did such people not step aside? Why did the honorary treasurer who was not aware step aside?
