- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance and Funding of Football Association of Ireland: Discussion (16 Apr 2019)
Ruth Coppinger: I welcome the witnesses back to the committee. The players' association last week said something is rotten in the FAI. If something is rotten, it needs to be completely excised. I am sure the witnesses would agree.

Ruth Coppinger: Following on from that, I would ask the witnesses two questions. They just answered Deputy Munster by saying that Sport Ireland cannot make John Delaney, the executive vice president, step down. However, there is a moral authority so I am going to ask Sport Ireland and the Minister if they are going to ask the board of the FAI to abolish the role of executive vice president that it created.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance and Funding of Football Association of Ireland: Discussion (16 Apr 2019)
Ruth Coppinger: I will ask the Minister the same question. Will he ask the FAI board, whenever he meets them, and he has not had a chance to meet them since the statements, to relinquish that position of executive vice president that it created?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance and Funding of Football Association of Ireland: Discussion (16 Apr 2019)
Ruth Coppinger: How would asking them to relinquish a position that they never should have created land the Minister in the High Court? He is the Minister responsible for sport.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance and Funding of Football Association of Ireland: Discussion (16 Apr 2019)
Ruth Coppinger: The second question relates to the board. Everybody seems extremely confident, based on the latest epistle from the FAI board, that they will step down. However, given they have concealed information from Sport Ireland in terms of their financial stability in 2017, and they have concealed information from the public and from all of us, does the Minister not think the board is part of the...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance and Funding of Football Association of Ireland: Discussion (16 Apr 2019)
Ruth Coppinger: Does Mr. Treacy agree that it is quite a weak answer to say it would take a little time to set up a new board and that, therefore, we should leave the rotten board in place that has led us to all of the problems in the first place? Would the Minister like to answer that question? Is he going to ask it to step down straightaway?

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance and Funding of Football Association of Ireland: Discussion (16 Apr 2019)
Ruth Coppinger: I have another few questions. I would have thought having an interim board in place would be better than keeping the current board. Two weeks ago at this committee Sport Ireland stated it was reluctant to impose the ultimate sanction. Obviously, a week later it did impose it. Was it far too slow and cautious? Should it not have been done years ago, given what we all know now? The...
