I will move quickly. I mentioned a football club. It was reported that the club was not able to access its entire prize funds from being involved in European competitions. In December 2010, I understand that Sporting Fingal faced the prospect of leaving players unpaid for Christmas because of the FAI's refusal to pass on the UEFA prize money that was due. My question is for Mr. Murray. Is it fair to say that withholding prize money is a systematic approach within the FAI meant to relieve cash flow pressures?
