On the terms of reference for the Mazars report, it was said it was from memory. I am sorry, but I believe that in coming here today it should not be from memory. Sport Ireland should have sought a copy of the terms of reference, even if it was not to be shared with us today, and the delegate could have had it on the desk to refer to it. He could have said, "Yes, that is in it," and so on, instead of saying it was from memory. I have been contacted, as I am sure many others have been, by concerned or former employees, including one former employee of a company that has traded with the FAI for decades. That arrangement has persisted with the FAI for decades by virtue of the fact that backhanders were paid.
