The current situation is as follows: an improper financial transaction has not been reported; there has been non-adherence to a basic level of corporate governance; substantial matters are being considered by the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement; there is a continual refusal by the existing board to answer basic questions; and the FAI auditors have filed a notice to the Companies Registration Office that proper books of accounts were not being kept. What will it take for Sport Ireland to actually say that an independent forensic examination is needed? Sport Ireland has said that it is still only considering such a measure and will not adjudicate that decision until such time as it knows the terms and conditions of the Mazars work. When will Sport Ireland know terms and conditions for the Mazars work?
