Mr. Kieran Mulvey:

We agree with the Minister. The president of the FAI wrote a letter to the Minister, which he read at this Oireachtas committee, that indicated the FAI was standing down new officers. We understood that very clearly and unequivocally to mean that they would not be standing again. We have no difficulty around the statement made by the Minister. It is the view of the board and the office of Sport Ireland that the Minister's wish in this regard would be listened to very strongly and adhered to.
