The second question relates to the board. Everybody seems extremely confident, based on the latest epistle from the FAI board, that they will step down. However, given they have concealed information from Sport Ireland in terms of their financial stability in 2017, and they have concealed information from the public and from all of us, does the Minister not think the board is part of the problem, not the solution?

Why, therefore, is the board being left in charge of cleaning up the FAI? I direct that question first to Sport Ireland.
