Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Governance and Funding of Football Association of Ireland: Discussion

Mr. John Treacy:

Will the Deputy, please, let me answer? With respect, I totally accept that there are a lot of people in tracksuits who have huge ability. However, my experience is that a lot of people who sit on the boards of governing bodies and who have come up through a system do not know about corporate governance. They do not know how a board should operate. That has been the experience Sport Ireland during the years. I just want to make sure that is clear. We want to see people come up through the system who know it extremely well, but they also need to have the skills required. They need to know what their responsibilities are.
