Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Funding Granted by Sport Ireland to the Football Association of Ireland and Related Matters: Discussion
Mr. Kieran Mulvey:
The FAI would have a very strong argument that Sport Ireland is underfunding soccer in Ireland at that level and I would have to agree. Irrespective of the corporate issues that we are discussing today, the FAI makes extraordinarily good use of the money we give it. It also puts in a lot of matching funding, above and beyond that. It invests three or four times the amount of funding that we provide. I must say that in defence of the organisation.
