Mr. Aidan Horan:

If the association is to move forward seriously to implement the recommendations as soon as is possible - I do not know what that date will be - the accounts will have to be brought before the membership in a formal structure. The governance roadshows that are taking place are an attempt to go out to the membership around the country. I was invited to explain the report and that is all I am doing. It was an attempt to explain the necessity and reasons for reform and the timelines around the EGM and AGM, albeit that the issue of the accounts not being available has been well addressed here.

I have to look at this positively. The reforms have been endorsed and accepted by the FAI board and UEFA and FIFA have endorsed them as well. Much work has been done in the three or four weeks since the report was produced. I have seen evidence of this in the terms of reference of the committees, the starting of the nomination process and so on. This shows an intent to make these reforms happen as expeditiously and professionally as possible.

Deputy Rock asked me directly if we were being given the runaround. I do not consider it to be a runaround.
