The money that Sport Ireland gives to the FAI is for youth grassroots participation. Would Sport Ireland agree that it is totally unsatisfactory that it channels its focus into that when the dogs on the street can see that the CEO is extremely well paid? The CEO's expenses are unknown and we will ask about them next week. Sport Ireland is aware of all this. It is investing money but perhaps some money should be taken from some of these other areas. Does Sport Ireland have the right to say anything to the FAI?
