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 fund positions. Programmes are run by all the organisations. In every sport, parents pay affiliation fees and pay for time in swimming pools, on pitches and so forth. It is the normal course of sporting organisations running their business. Sports do that an ongoing basis. We have all had children playing rugby or soccer or whatever and paying their fees weekly. That is just the way sport is organised.
