In terms of the level of funding that Sport Ireland gave to the FAI, it amounted to approximately €35 million in a decade. The sum provided in 2017 was just under €3 million. That was the same year in which the organisation had cash flow difficulties and got a loan from the CEO. While €3 million sounds like a lot, it is only 5% of the total budget. Why was it lower than it was in 2008, for example?
