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:

I am very disappointed that this issue arose and, equally, I can see the damage it has caused against a background of such progress in the organisation over the period. I am deeply disappointed about it all. I can apologise but in the context that I was trying to make what I believed was a good-faith decision. People have different views on that. It is important for me, as I leave this role, that the future of the organisation is bright. The management team, board and staff have made huge progress over the past few years. I hope that over the next few years this matter can be put behind it. In any organisation, when there is such massive change, there will be plenty of hiccups, bumps in the road or mistakes. It is the same in any organisation. I firmly believe it is in a very good place now. I hope it can realise its potential.
