Okay. My next point is on the MOU, in place since 2020 and the obligation to monitor financial position, internal controls and governance in the FAI. When he took up the position, Mr. Hill would be aware that with the headlines the FAI had created in Ireland recently, its reputation needed to be repaired. Obviously, between the lateness of the opening statement, this particular issue which has arisen today and a number of other things, the organisation seems to be going from bad to worse. I accept that some great work is being done by clubs across the country. Mr. Califf and others have said that progress is being made. This is true but the organisation's reputation does not need any more bad headlines. Would Mr. Hill agree?
