Could I ask the witnesses for their view on the Covid resilience funding and the other Covid funding the FAI received from the Department? We have just heard in my previous line of questioning that just under €1 million in funding was used that should not have been used to pay off legacy debt, even though it is in direct contravention of the guidance Dr. May's organisation published to the FAI. It is in contravention of the memorandum of understanding in that I do not believe Sport Ireland picked up on this issue in its quarterly engagements with the FAI on financial matters. What is the view of the witnesses and the board on that?
