Would Sport Ireland consider requesting them to obtain an independent certificate of corporate compliance, as happens in the case of an audit certificate, for example? It is something else that could be done, but it would be totally up to Sport Ireland.

I remember asking the question two weeks ago as to whether there were red flags in the past. Sport Ireland stated there had been none in the case of the FAI. I came across an article on Google by Paul Melia who worked for the Irish Independentat the time, in August 2013, in which it was stated a major split had emerged in the Irish Sports Council in a row centred on the FAI.

Can Mr. Mulvey elaborate on it? I do not want to read through it but it is apparently about three board members of the FAI raising concerns and how correspondence shows the growing frustration among those three board members regarding the information being provided to the board by the FAI. Did that come up at board meetings?
