At the press conference, Ms Rafferty stated:

It is really important to understand policies and procedures and safeguarding measures are in place and have been in place for a long time. That is not enough. It is about our behaviours across all of our football community and why we would ask everyone to help us to create a really safe environment for those who play or are in administration in football. It is essential. It cannot be just a document. It cannot be just a policy. We would ask all of you to call it out, tell us, report it and we will be committed and reassure everyone we will do everything to investigate it.

Bearing in mind the emails referenced by Senator Ní Chuilinn, does Ms Rafferty think the FAI did that?
