- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)
Imelda Munster: Right, it was just when the matter came into the public domain. Who issued the note? Who furnished the note into the accounts to account for the €100,000 loan just recently?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)
Imelda Munster: Right, and that was furnished because the loan came to light. Mr. Conway, responding to Deputy Catherine Murphy, said that the fact of the matter was that the loan was managed the way it was managed. The question is why it was managed in that way. We are still none the wiser as to that. The FAI representatives also said that the awareness of the loan was confined to a certain number of...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)
Imelda Munster: Explain that. Why has an outside company been engaged to investigate something the people in this room know the answers to? Why does Mr. Conway thank that is not giving the two fingers to everybody? I am asking that question because it appears the board of the FAI has not been accustomed to public scrutiny of this nature for a long time.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)
Imelda Munster: No, I am saying that some of the board members here today know the answers but they are not forthcoming. That is my point.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)
Imelda Munster: I was going to say the Genesis report was in 2002 but not all of the recommendations of that report were implemented. Some of the witnesses have been on the board since 2002. It appears none of them has seen fit to ensure all those recommendations were implemented, including the appointment of two non-executive independent board members. I want to ask Mr. Conway about the creation of the...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)
Imelda Munster: Given all that has happened, that position has not been rescinded to show, as Mr. Conway declared earlier, his commitment to learn from what has happened. The creation of the new role does not appear to show that. It might be stated that it was created prior to, or after the events. Either way it is irrelevant. The new role that the FAI created has not been rescinded. Was that role...

Imelda Munster: We know from earlier today that at least three members of the board knew about the loan, yet the board, as a body, was allowed to sign off on the accounts. Why did the FAI allow that to happen?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)

Imelda Munster: Whose understanding must that have been?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)
Imelda Munster: Mr. Conway is presuming it must have been their understanding. Where did that understanding come from? Who told them there was no requirement?
