- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance Review Group Report for the FAI Board and Sport Ireland: Sport Ireland (17 Jul 2019)
Ruth Coppinger: In the key amendments Sport Ireland has made to its revised conditions for grant approval - which basically relate to full audit and inspection - making it a condition to provide details of full remuneration packages of CEOs, etc. and independent verification of good practice both represent major improvements. Was it not all very simple in the end? At the first meeting Sport Ireland...

Ruth Coppinger: Would Mr. Treacy agree that Sport Ireland could have pushed the boat out a bit earlier, meaning that the level of bad practice might not have continued for so long?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance Review Group Report for the FAI Board and Sport Ireland: Sport Ireland (17 Jul 2019)
Ruth Coppinger: That is to be welcomed. However, at the first meeting, I recall asking whether Sport Ireland would withhold funding as a deterrent and Mr. Treacy was very reluctant to do so. Now there are very stringent conditions.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance Review Group Report for the FAI Board and Sport Ireland: Sport Ireland (17 Jul 2019)
Ruth Coppinger: How has the discrepancy arisen between the clean sweep of the board for which the Minister is arguing and which we all thought would happen and the insistence in the report on maintaining two board members? When we last discussed this issue at the committee, I asked why would we wait until July. I am not pointing at anyone personally, but it is a fact that it is now July and we have found...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance Review Group Report for the FAI Board and Sport Ireland: Sport Ireland (17 Jul 2019)
Ruth Coppinger: Did Mr. Horan not see the potential for it to happen with that recommendation? The nominee for president is somebody who has a long track record of facilitating whatever went on in the FAI and allowing the former CEO to sit there gagged and not to answer questions from elected persons, journalists or anybody else. Considering how small and monocultural the board was, could Mr. Horan not...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance Review Group Report for the FAI Board and Sport Ireland: Sport Ireland (17 Jul 2019)
Ruth Coppinger: There is a danger that an impression is being given that we are entering a new era of reform and that the problems of the past will never be investigated or uncovered. I do not think that is acceptable. That is something for the Chairman of the committee to consider. The last time we were all at this committee we were in a farcical situation, with the Kerins judgment hanging over our...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance Review Group Report for the FAI Board and Sport Ireland: Sport Ireland (17 Jul 2019)
Ruth Coppinger: We heard from the president but not from the person from whom we all wanted to hear. In the light of the clarity provided on sending an invitation with clear information in advance, we should re-invite the former CEO to answer these questions.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance Review Group Report for the FAI Board and Sport Ireland: Sport Ireland (17 Jul 2019)
Ruth Coppinger: In the delegates' recommendations on the make-up of the new governance boards they draw attention to the gender imbalance in the FAI, but it would not be the only sinner in the country in that regard. It is not too much better in the Dáil. There are two women to represent women's football out of a council membership of 58. One looks back and asks whether it is any wonder that the...
