Mr. Cian ? Lion?in:

I echo what Dr. May said. The view of the Department is that the FAI has broadly made good progress in governance and financial reforms, but it is really important to maintain the momentum built.

On the specific issue that has been the subject of discussion here, a clear mistake was made. Critically, it was identified because of good oversight. It was then recognised within the organisation and addressed. I acknowledge the considerable effort put in by Sport Ireland and, indeed, the team in the Department on this issue.
