Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland
Mr. Donal Conway:
As John Treacy said last week, for every €1 we get from Sport Ireland we match it with €4 and we will still have the €4. If we restore the confidence of Sport Ireland in the FAI, by late autumn the next tranche of money, which is some €670,000, will come through as normal and that is our urgent aim. The programmes on which the money is spent are key grassroots programmes for clubs, schools, girls' football, etc. These are all very important for us and I do not want any of it to be harmed, nor do I envisage it being harmed.
