Ms Joyce has stated that it was not good practice, yet Mr. Barrett felt it was. I find it really concerning that he cannot see what he did was wrong, after the KOSI audit and the review found that was the case. It breached guidelines and it was wrong. I saw him say on Saturday that he believed it was the right thing to do. I find it hard to understand that Mr. Barrett could still believe that it was the right thing to do. He still holds that view despite all the evidence and the outrage of ordinary football fans. If he does not mind me saying so, it is like a throwback to the John Delaney era.

I would point to the arrogance, the assumption that Mr. Barrett knows better than everyone else and his making of executive decisions. He was advised that it was not good practice, yet he has continued with it to this day. It is worrying that the FAI would have that culture at the top level.
