Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance and Funding of Football Association of Ireland: Discussion (16 Apr 2019)

Catherine Murphy: I welcome Mr. Treacy. In the first instance, people who are interested in and love the sport will be both embarrassed by and angry over what has transpired in recent months, but they will probably not be surprised because there has been a problem for a very long time. Did Mr. Treacy know about the letter to the Companies Registration Office, CRO, or of the submission of the form H4 to the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance and Funding of Football Association of Ireland: Discussion (16 Apr 2019)

Catherine Murphy: Once it gets into that area, we are precluded, but we have been notified about it at this stage. The very fact there is Government funding allocated to an organisation like the FAI gives it legitimacy across the board and, in fact, it could have a bearing on other income streams as a consequence. This is very important in terms of not doing more damage than needs to be done. Mr. Treacy...

The Inquiry had a concern at a possible absence of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance and Funding of Football Association of Ireland: Discussion (16 Apr 2019)

Catherine Murphy: I thank Mr. Treacy. I addressed this issue with the Minister two years ago; ironically, it was in 2017. I stated that the Genesis report, as it was then, 13 years ago sought two independent directors of the board, which could have made a sizeable difference. The Minister agreed with me but it appears nothing was done about it. Does he regret that at this stage?
