Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

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

Mr. Aidan Horan:

There are two pieces here. One involves the people who will be entitled to be nominated to the board of the FAI. Those six nominees to the board of the FAI will be drawn from the larger expanded 78 member council, not the 58 member one. The fourth constituency model will allow for six potentially new people from those constituencies to come forward to go on to the board. The issue relating to the nominee for president may be part of what the Deputy mentioned. That comes from somebody who has had two years' council membership experience. The point I made at the end of my statement was that the six new nominees to the board of the FAI will come from a much wider and more representative council, not the narrow 58 member one.
