I have a question for the Minister and for Mr. John Treacy from Sport Ireland. At the committee last week the FAI said that it wanted to regain trust and proper governance. Everything it has done, however, since these matters became public knowledge is evidence to demonstrate that it is actually doing the opposite to regain trust. I will not go into last week's meeting: everyone has already commented enough on that. Even at last night's meeting with Mr. Treacy and Mr. Mulvey the FAI did not refer to the H4 form being filed. From the letter I can see that the complaint was filed on 12 April, which was last Friday. In an answer to a question by me about the Mazars' report last Wednesday they said that it was for the FAI eyes only and it would not be published. Now, thankfully, Sport Ireland has got assurances in its meeting with the FAI that the report will be published. My point is that the FAI is being brought kicking and screaming to this, and it is ongoing to the present time. I would like comment from Mr. Mulvey and Mr. Treacy on that, especially in relation to the restoration of funds. With everyone the committee has met we are aware there are many innocent parties on the front line who are suffering and who will continue to suffer, but there is no way that funding can be restored in a timely fashion with all that is going on such as the board stepping down and all of the audits that will be required as a result of the H4. I believe that August was mentioned as the time for the second 50% of funding. The witnesses also referred to Sport Ireland's own audit of the FAI. Has it been decided yet who will do that audit and will it be publicly available when it is done? What is the scope of that audit?
