That is a major source of concern. There are people who, having worked with other organisations, have expertise in this area, including Brendan Menton and Sarah Keane, in terms of her hands-on approach to the restoration of an organisation. The committee could usefully hear from such people if we are holding another session in the new year. We should have another session because this is going to be an ongoing process.

I do not think the new directors of the FAI are helping their case in terms of their communications strategy and how they are working through the 78 recommendations. It would be far better if they gave a constant update on where they are in the process. That would be of assistance to people and sponsors who have concerns in terms of reputational damage and so on.
