Mr. Willie Noone:

Within 20 minutes of the announcement that Kieran Mulvey was to be appointed to the position, I contacted him. I have also had a long relationship with him down the years. Mr. Mulvey told me he would contact me as soon as he got the terms of reference. That was on the Friday of his appointment and he was hoping to contact me the following Monday. The terms of reference were announced subsequently but I have not heard from Mr. Mulvey since. That is understandable because unless he wants to talk about football, there is no point in my talking to him.
