I have another few questions. I would have thought having an interim board in place would be better than keeping the current board. Two weeks ago at this committee Sport Ireland stated it was reluctant to impose the ultimate sanction. Obviously, a week later it did impose it. Was it far too slow and cautious? Should it not have been done years ago, given what we all know now? The Minister of State said in a statement there had been long-running friction in the FAI.
