Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance Review Group Report for the FAI Board and Sport Ireland: Sport Ireland (17 Jul 2019)

Ruth Coppinger: Would Mr. Treacy agree that Sport Ireland could have pushed the boat out a bit earlier, meaning that the level of bad practice might not have continued for so long?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance Review Group Report for the FAI Board and Sport Ireland: Sport Ireland (17 Jul 2019)

Ruth Coppinger: That is to be welcomed. However, at the first meeting, I recall asking whether Sport Ireland would withhold funding as a deterrent and Mr. Treacy was very reluctant to do so. Now there are very stringent conditions.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance Review Group Report for the FAI Board and Sport Ireland: Sport Ireland (17 Jul 2019)

Ruth Coppinger: How has the discrepancy arisen between the clean sweep of the board for which the Minister is arguing and which we all thought would happen and the insistence in the report on maintaining two board members? When we last discussed this issue at the committee, I asked why would we wait until July. I am not pointing at anyone personally, but it is a fact that it is now July and we have found...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance Review Group Report for the FAI Board and Sport Ireland: Sport Ireland (17 Jul 2019)

Ruth Coppinger: Did Mr. Horan not see the potential for it to happen with that recommendation? The nominee for president is somebody who has a long track record of facilitating whatever went on in the FAI and allowing the former CEO to sit there gagged and not to answer questions from elected persons, journalists or anybody else. Considering how small and monocultural the board was, could Mr. Horan not...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance Review Group Report for the FAI Board and Sport Ireland: Sport Ireland (17 Jul 2019)

Ruth Coppinger: I have read the report and many of the recommendations made in it are very good.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance Review Group Report for the FAI Board and Sport Ireland: Sport Ireland (17 Jul 2019)

Ruth Coppinger: There is a danger that an impression is being given that we are entering a new era of reform and that the problems of the past will never be investigated or uncovered. I do not think that is acceptable. That is something for the Chairman of the committee to consider. The last time we were all at this committee we were in a farcical situation, with the Kerins judgment hanging over our...

Ruth Coppinger: Including the former CEO.

Ruth Coppinger: We all wanted to hear from the person who did not speak at the last meeting.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance Review Group Report for the FAI Board and Sport Ireland: Sport Ireland (17 Jul 2019)

Ruth Coppinger: We heard from the president but not from the person from whom we all wanted to hear. In the light of the clarity provided on sending an invitation with clear information in advance, we should re-invite the former CEO to answer these questions.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance Review Group Report for the FAI Board and Sport Ireland: Sport Ireland (17 Jul 2019)

Ruth Coppinger: In the delegates' recommendations on the make-up of the new governance boards they draw attention to the gender imbalance in the FAI, but it would not be the only sinner in the country in that regard. It is not too much better in the Dáil. There are two women to represent women's football out of a council membership of 58. One looks back and asks whether it is any wonder that the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance Review Group Report for the FAI Board and Sport Ireland: Sport Ireland (17 Jul 2019)

Ruth Coppinger: It seems difficult to go from 3.5% to 33% in 24 months.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance Review Group Report for the FAI Board and Sport Ireland: Sport Ireland (17 Jul 2019)

Ruth Coppinger: This seems to be the issue that us bugging all of us. Is this just a fait accompli? Can this be altered?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance Review Group Report for the FAI Board and Sport Ireland: Sport Ireland (17 Jul 2019)

Ruth Coppinger: The witnesses were asked if they anticipated that this could happen. The person who asked no questions at all about financial goings-on in the FAI, including the extravagant expenses and the so-called loan, is now going to lead the reform movement in the FAI. It just does not stand up.
