Marc MacSharry: Mr. Treacy alluded in a letter to Deputy O'Keeffe and I on some of these matters, much of which was covered in the opening statement as well, that FIFA and UEFA are broadly happy with the proposals for rule changes. Is there written correspondence confirming their approval?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance Review Group Report for the FAI Board and Sport Ireland: Sport Ireland (17 Jul 2019)
Marc MacSharry: I appreciate that.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance Review Group Report for the FAI Board and Sport Ireland: Sport Ireland (17 Jul 2019)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance Review Group Report for the FAI Board and Sport Ireland: Sport Ireland (17 Jul 2019)
Marc MacSharry: Mr. Treacy said in his letter and in his opening statement that the urgency of moving forward arises from the need to provide the public football community and stakeholders with assurance that there is a determination in the FAI to enact the necessary reforms. He mentioned rebuilding public trust and confidence as quickly as possible and that in some way is driving the urgency. I put it to...

Marc MacSharry: I hear Mr. Horan on that. However, he has had to do that on the blind. There is nothing to say these five other reports will produce outcomes that will determine that that structure needs to be different.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance Review Group Report for the FAI Board and Sport Ireland: Sport Ireland (17 Jul 2019)
Marc MacSharry: Mr. Horan could take that report as a template and apply it to any agency, and I respect that. What I am saying is that we have the biggest crisis ever in the FAI and we are taking key decisions without having fully identified the problems.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance Review Group Report for the FAI Board and Sport Ireland: Sport Ireland (17 Jul 2019)
Marc MacSharry: I will be quick. I do not mind coming back but I do not want to disenfranchise others. It is a matter for the Chairman.

Marc MacSharry: Somebody mentioned we will have new council members but they must be approved at the AGM.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance Review Group Report for the FAI Board and Sport Ireland: Sport Ireland (17 Jul 2019)
Marc MacSharry: That is grand. They will be approved at the AGM. Is it correct that none of them will be eligible to be on the new board because nominations close on 24 July?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance Review Group Report for the FAI Board and Sport Ireland: Sport Ireland (17 Jul 2019)
Marc MacSharry: At the next AGM.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance Review Group Report for the FAI Board and Sport Ireland: Sport Ireland (17 Jul 2019)
Marc MacSharry: Given that nominations close on 24 July, how can they be nominated three days before they are eligible?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance Review Group Report for the FAI Board and Sport Ireland: Sport Ireland (17 Jul 2019)
Marc MacSharry: The nominations close on 24 July.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance Review Group Report for the FAI Board and Sport Ireland: Sport Ireland (17 Jul 2019)
Marc MacSharry: I have no doubt about that.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance Review Group Report for the FAI Board and Sport Ireland: Sport Ireland (17 Jul 2019)
Marc MacSharry: It is another example. We established that we do not know whether it is solvent. We established that in an ideal world we would like all of the report's results before we move forward with substantive change. Now we have confusion over the new people. Theoretically, from my reading of the rules, they will not even be eligible to be on the board until the next AGM so it is a bit on the...

Marc MacSharry: I have one more point to make.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance Review Group Report for the FAI Board and Sport Ireland: Sport Ireland (17 Jul 2019)
Marc MacSharry: For what it is worth at this late stage, and bear in mind that I am new to this but I have read and considered the information that is available to us, I urge Sport Ireland to appeal to the FAI - to the extent that it has influence over the association, which is one of its member organisations - to postpone its EGM and AGM until November. Let us get all of these reports, including that of...
