We have received many statements, some of which contradict others. This one was particularly unclear, and as far as I was aware the media were refused answers on that questions last night. I just want to put that on the record.

The statement of the Minister, Deputy Ross, and the letter from the FAI both say that the board of the FAI is stepping down. Is this a part of the normal course of events, as in the members will step down and potentially seek re-election? Is it the Minister's understanding that they will not seek re-election?
