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 that happened very quickly. Sending out a notice about an extraordinary general meeting, EGM, on a Sunday night is not a great idea. Asking for nominations on a Friday is not a great idea either. That was a very short timeframe. We met the FAI and we raised those issues. Its officials' argument was that if people had put forward names for elections, there would be a longer time for people to campaign. We thought that was too tight. We articulated that view to them.
