Cormac Devlin: Mr. Hill said earlier that the line in one of the emails which is less redacted than the others was a throwaway line. The line was about looking for the same arrangement sought by that employee. While you were not involved in those discussions, you did then take the payment when it was offered. Is that the case?

Cormac Devlin: Okay. My next point is on the MOU, in place since 2020 and the obligation to monitor financial position, internal controls and governance in the FAI.

Cormac Devlin: Mr. Hill must appreciate though that the FAI should be more focused on the game itself, rather than being in the headlines itself. Is that not true?
