FAI: Matters relating to Governance and Funding
9:30 am
Mr. Tony Keohane:
I think Mr. Hill and the leadership team are the right people to take this organisation forward. As a board, we will, as I said, be focusing on the learnings that will come from all of this. With regard to the governance improvements that have been made over the last while, with 158 of the 160-odd recommendations implemented, it is not going to stop there. We will continue to focus on governance improvements. I answered a question earlier around the plan for the board going forward. We will have a proper board programme now that we have a proper company secretary in place. This is the beginning of the next phase of the FAI. To be clear, I regret the fact that the focus has been taken away from the good work that has been done. This slip-up should not have happened.
