Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Funding Granted by Sport Ireland to the Football Association of Ireland and Related Matters: Discussion
Frank Feighan (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
I welcome the witnesses. Many of the questions I wanted to ask have been answered. I will come at this from a different point of view and broaden the discussion. I was involved in association football 30 years ago and it certainly was not well organised at a national level. I was one of those who was delighted when the Genesis report was brought in to radically overhaul the FAI governance structures. I recall that the then Minister, John O'Donoghue, was quite right to withdraw funding until the FAI implemented many of the key recommendations. Is Sport Ireland satisfied that the Genesis report has been implemented in full over the past 18 years?
