Dr. May wrote to Roy Barrett on 19 September of last year stating Sport Ireland was further concerned that the FAI's failure to accurately disclose the remuneration for the FAI CEO for 2022 could damage trust and undermine confidence in the FAI and the broader reform process. I think she was absolutely right in making that point. She also referred to the withholding of funding until she was satisfied that had been resolved. There is a kind of similarity between some of those issues of trust and what we have been dealing with at RTÉ, for example. We have had its representatives appear before us on a couple of occasions regarding something of the same order regarding trust and the disclosure of information, and it does undermine trust. Has Sport Ireland written similar letters to other organisations in recent years and withheld funding because of this kind of thing, or is this more specifically the case with the FAI than it has been with other sporting organisations?
