Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Governance Review Group Report for the FAI Board and Sport Ireland: Sport Ireland
Mr. Aidan Horan:
The group is independent. There were three external nominees who were nominated by Sport Ireland. From the point of view of a transition in governance and a hand-over, when we looked at this issue and put it in the report, given that we are talking about a new board, independent directors and an independent chair, we considered that it would be a more serious risk to allow everybody with knowledge, an insight, relationships, corporate memory, etc. to walk away, rather than allow more than one or a maximum of two of the 12 to hand on the baton in a reasonable way.
