Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media
Football Association of Ireland's Facility Investment Vision and Strategy, and Governance Issues: Discussion
Mr. Roy Barrett:
When it came to me a month or so later, independently, part of it was advice and, in fairness to Ms Joyce, it was not necessarily best practice. However, to the extent that the executive could make a case to me for my approval, then that is what it should do. Six, seven or eight weeks later, it came back to me and asked my view. We discussed that view and I gave my approval. I should either have proactively spoken to Ms Joyce or just assumed that the necessary executive would go back to Ms Joyce and say that this is what the outcome of that discussion is.
