Safeguarding Policies and Procedures within the Football Association of Ireland: Discussion
2:00 am
Dr. Úna May:
I do not think there is a defined threshold and the Deputy has raised a fair issue there. It is challenging when there is no defined threshold. However, we would not expect an NGB to act immediately and to take fundamental actions in relation to a concern. We would expect it to explore it in greater depth and to look into the issue and establish whether it felt that there was a greater issue of concern here. Until it becomes a formal complaint, it is very difficult for an NGB to respond.
