Robert Troy: This is not the first time that funding for the FAI was suspended. It was suspended in November 2004. We had the Genesis report but all of its key recommendation were not implemented. Does Sport Ireland accept that the FAI has shown a lack of respect for it in terms of not complying with its requirements?

Robert Troy: Is the Minister, Deputy Ross, happy for the existing board to remain in situ, given that this board has been in place and has overseen the practices that led us to where we are today? It continues to be evasive and refuses to answer basic questions about, for example, who signed off on a press release stating the members were all in full knowledge of the €100,000 bridging loan. Is...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance and Funding of Football Association of Ireland: Discussion (16 Apr 2019)
Robert Troy: I put it to the Minister that they have been in situ. These are the people who have not overseen adequate corporate governance for the last years. These are the people who have overseen the procedures that brought the Minister to the committee today, the FAI to the committee last week and Sport Ireland to the committee the week before. Does the Minister have confidence that these people...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance and Funding of Football Association of Ireland: Discussion (16 Apr 2019)
Robert Troy: Okay. There seems to be a resistance or reservations about conducting a full, independent audit. Sport Ireland seems to be relying on Mazars and Grant Thornton. Given that Mr. Mulvey said he has had a cursory look at the terms and conditions for the Mazars piece of work how can Sport Ireland be satisfied that the terms and conditions will adequately address the wide ranging issues that...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance and Funding of Football Association of Ireland: Discussion (16 Apr 2019)
Robert Troy: The current situation is as follows: an improper financial transaction has not been reported; there has been non-adherence to a basic level of corporate governance; substantial matters are being considered by the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement; there is a continual refusal by the existing board to answer basic questions; and the FAI auditors have filed a notice to the...
