Last week, I did not get a proper answer to my query. Maybe the transaction was incorrect. Is Grant Thornton saying the transaction was legal or illegal?
The FAI is accountable to the UEFA and FIFA in terms of how it is structured. Is that right? We are limited in what we can say to the FAI. More important, we are limited in what the Government can say or do to the FAI. We will not go back to what happened in Spain in 2017 when there was a threat of Government involvement in the election of the president of the governing body of the football association. Have FIFA or UEFA knocked on the FAI's door since all of this came out to ask what is going on?
