Obviously, it is a position that is important but it seems an inordinate sum. In regard to the FAI, it strikes me as an observer and from my work as a Deputy that, of the three main field sports organisations, it is the least well organised. The GAA and the IRFU strike me as being very well organised but we have a situation where football clubs come and go all the time, certainly if my own constituency is anything to go by. Is there anything Mr. Treacy can do to bring a better and more effective organisation into being in the FAI or is that entirely in its hands? Can he encourage it in that direction?
