I appreciate where Mr. Horan is coming from. It is worth reading a sentence from the Minister's letter to Mr. Conway. It says: "Together with your decision to appoint former FAI employee and loyalist Noel Mooney to the post of general manager, this development means that the new regime has a very old look about it." My concern is that some reforms will be implemented and others will not. A set of accounts might be presented at some stage. I understand, from talking to members within the FAI, that this vote on 27 July is very much in the balance and may not pass. What will happen then? What if the accounts are presented, the reforms are not passed and some old people are still at the helm? Will funding be restored in those circumstances? What are the boxes that must be ticked in order for funding to be restored?
