Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Funding Granted by Sport Ireland to the Football Association of Ireland and Related Matters: Discussion

Mr. John Treacy:

We are not there yet. We have a process to go through. All of these things need to be discussed by the board itself so there is a process. The Deputy rightly identified the major issue here, which is around the staff employed by the FAI in terms of the funding. It is a critical issue but it is also the investment in those programmes over a long period of time because we have invested significantly in these programmes, which are very effective. That is the difficulty.
