Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Governance Review Group Report for the FAI Board and Sport Ireland: Sport Ireland
Mr. John Treacy:
A lot of these changes need to happen. The pieces the review group came up with are sensible solutions that need to be put in within any sporting organisation or any other organisation. Some of these are urgent. If we are talking about getting independent people on the board, they need to get independent people on the board and they need to agree terms of reference for various committees. These are essential pieces that need to happen. I would not want a vacuum as that would only create more confusion and more delays. We need to get people into the organisation who can add value and can lead the organisation. That is critical. We need to get an independent chair in and we need to get a chief executive in.
