Shane Cassells: Okay. Ms Joyce stated an hour ago here that the breaches were unintentional. They cannot have been unintentional. There was a request, and there was a payment.

The only reason it stopped is because an...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Football Association of Ireland's Facility Investment Vision and Strategy, and Governance Issues: Discussion (13 Dec 2023)

Shane Cassells: He does not recollect getting that email advising the staff? If another member of staff told Mr. Hill - as his or her boss - that he or she did not recall getting that email from him, would that be acceptable? Let us presume he did get the email.

Shane Cassells: I know, but I am finding that hard to believe. That is giving me the impression that this is kind of like a WhatsApp chat going, "Jesus, Jonathan, you should get a bit as well". It did not work like that. Mr. Hill said it was an email. I am trying to find out to whom the first email was sent making a suggestion that Mr. Hill should be in receipt of a similar package to the person who had...
