Sport Ireland met the board of the FAI last night and that board again withheld key information, as confirmed by the delegates to my colleagues on a number of occasions. That is an indication that the FAI continues to give the two fingers to Sport Ireland and that it is the FAI that is driving the agenda and setting the pace. Even today, at the eleventh hour, it wrote to the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Ross. Everything is happening on its terms. The delegates stated they had a cursory look at the terms of reference for the report to be undertaken by Mazars. When will Sport Ireland sign off on them?
