Fergus O'Dowd: I need to ask a few questions. Going back to last Friday's meeting between the FAI and Sport Ireland, with the agreement on the sharing of information with Mazars and so on, what contact, if any, did the FAI have with Sport Ireland after that and before yesterday's announcement that the latter was cutting the association's funding?

All my life, I knew fantastic kids who worked hard in school and played hard to get on teams. Dave Colgan, a former teacher and lovely man, devoted his life to the sport. Every day of his life, he worked for sport, for soccer.

Fergus O'Dowd: I was going to name them. I have their names listed here. I will say their names because it is important to me. Nicky Colgan, Gary Kelly and Ian Harte were all reared by Dave and people like him. Right around the country, all those young people who succeed locally, regionally and nationally are driven by people like Dave. The point I am making relates to the point I made earlier, that...
