Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Governance and Funding of Football Association of Ireland: Discussion

Mr. John Treacy:

The learnings for every sporting organisation and ourselves is that there has to be robust corporate governance and there has to be a balance of power. That is the key piece here, namely, a balance of power where the board directs and controls the organisation and the chief executive implements. It was very clear that that balance was wrong within the FAI and the OCI. That is a critical piece. If that balance is wrong, one does not have the accountability, and that is a critical piece.
