Mr. Aidan Horan:

These are presented as a package. If we say there are governance principles for the FAI, these are the governance arrangements it requires. We have tried to fashion a structure, board, business committees, a football management committee and new committees that will help the arrangements to embed and to work. The 78 recommendations are not a menu. I gather what is coming from the EGMs and AGMs is that this is a package of reform. Of course it can be tweaked as the organisation goes forward but as of now this is what the membership has to vote on to change. The rule changes are there to take those parts of the report that require rule change. Many of the recommendations are not rule changes; they are behavioural and cultural and how it does its work.
