Robert Troy: I have one last question and appreciate the latitude afforded by the Chairman. Towards the end of the written submission of Sport Ireland there is a reference to term limits. It states "while Sport Ireland does not set term limits, it does support the adoption of the Governance Code". The most common practice is for directors to be appointed for a three-year term. How many members of the...

Robert Troy: How many board members of Sport Ireland have sat on the board for longer than is considered to be good practice, namely, two to three three-year terms? In other words, has any board member of Sport Ireland served on the board for more than nine years, bearing in mind that the board is a reconstituted version of two previous boards?

Robert Troy: I return to one of my previous questions. I asked about the board membership of Sport Ireland and the length of service of each member because I would expect Sport Ireland, as the overarching governing body, to lead by example. Given that Sport Ireland stipulates that the term that people can serve is limited to three years for a maximum of two or three terms, or a total of nine years, I...

Robert Troy: Nobody wants to see grassroots or development positions cut, as I am sure we will all agree. On what actions Sport Ireland can take, Mr. Treacy stated its powers are restricted. As part of the Government's national sports policy of 2018, did Sport Ireland request any additional powers in order that it could have greater oversight of the governance of sporting bodies?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Funding Granted by Sport Ireland to the Football Association of Ireland and Related Matters: Discussion (3 Apr 2019)
Robert Troy: Mr. Treacy stated governance cannot be enforced, but the fact is that a loan was made without being reported or declared, a position was created within 48 hours, and a former CEO was a member of the board yet Mr. Treacy stated one of the board's jobs is to challenge the management. It is hard to challenge somebody, however, who sits around the table day in, day out, and is part of the...

Robert Troy: Mr. Mulvey has spent many a night in the Labour Court and has been able to exercise a lot of patience. He is only here for three hours so I ask him to forgive us if we are trying his patience in three hours.
