Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Governance Review Group Report for the FAI Board and Sport Ireland: Sport Ireland

Mr. John Treacy:

There is a parallel piece around the governance review group in terms of starting to change the rule book, implementing change, putting proper structures in place and getting independent people on the board. It is very important that this happens. Sport Ireland would regard financial accounts going to a board as per normal business. We would get them normally after they go to the AGM and would then review them. It is highly unusual for the accounts not to be at the AGM. We want the other work to proceed as well, and that is an important piece. Obviously, the auditors are carrying out their audit. I think it took a while to bed everything down for the auditors to get started, but things are progressing. There were delays. Obviously, there are issues that will arise during the financial statements and there might be revelations in them that we had not seen before.
