Robert Troy: Would Mr. Conway accept the same governance issues from a League of Ireland club? I understand that, each year, every League of Ireland club has to apply for a licence in order to participate. Would Mr. Conway accept the same accounting practices that the FAI board and executive applied at the time from a League of Ireland club? He can answer "Yes" or "No".

Robert Troy: Why is it acceptable, in certain elements of the organisation, that loans and funding are available? Is it the case that some elements of the FAI organisation are more equal than others?

Robert Troy: I will give Mr. Conway an example.

Robert Troy: I will give an example and perhaps Mr. Delaney might to answer this as the person who made the funding available and no one questions his passion for soccer. Last year, Bray Wanderers, an historical cub, nearly went to its knees. Why was there not a need to help it?

Robert Troy: That question was to Mr. Delaney.

Robert Troy: Can I ask a question that has previously been asked? To what exact bill did the €100,000 relate? Mr. Delaney's opening statement referred to "all cheques and FAI bank transfers" which would indicate a multiple liability. In response to Deputy Rock, Mr. Conway said he had previously been in negotiations with the creditor. Are we talking about one specific creditor or multiple...

Robert Troy: The FAI released a statement which stated that: The bridging loan was made in the best interests of the FAI ... when it experienced a short-term cash flow issue. The board of the FAI [of which Mr. Conway is the chair] has been kept fully informed in relation to this matter at all times. Who issued that statement? It is clearly inaccurate.

Robert Troy: Who signed off on that statement?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)
Robert Troy: Who signed off on it? I issue press releases every day, as a politician, as most of us do. Who signed off on a press release that said the board of the FAI "has been kept fully informed in relation to this matter at all times"? Was it Mr. Conway, as chairman of the board and president of the organisation?

Robert Troy: Who did?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)
Robert Troy: The statement was in response to the reports in The Sunday Times.

Robert Troy: I do not have the date to hand.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)
Robert Troy: It is 20 March. Mr. Conway is confirming that as chairman of the board and as president he did not sign off on it.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)
Robert Troy: Something came out from the board which alluded to the board being kept informed at all times, yet the board's most senior member was unaware of it. That is strange. I refer to Mr. Delaney's statement. I accept that he is not in a position to comment any further but maybe Mr. Conway can. Of the people identified who can corroborate the sequence of events, none, with the exception of Mr....
