Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Governance and Funding of Football Association of Ireland: Discussion

Mr. John Treacy:

That is a fair summary of it. We have not met them on it, to answer the question. In terms of everything we do around having strong organisations, when one fragments an organisation it goes against the grain. Sport should be governed by the national organisation and that is why one does not fragment it. It all should fit in, one piece after another. The development leads to talent identification. Talent identification leads to high performance. Fragmenting an organisation probably is not the way forward. Obviously, as was said here, the new organisation needs to give a great deal of time to the League of Ireland and to the underage development of the game and lift the whole organisation up now.
