Governance and Funding of Football Association of Ireland: Discussion

Once it gets into that area, we are precluded, but we have been notified about it at this stage. The very fact there is Government funding allocated to an organisation like the FAI gives it legitimacy across the board and, in fact, it could have a bearing on other income streams as a consequence. This is very important in terms of not doing more damage than needs to be done. Mr. Treacy might come back to us and let us know exactly what the timeline is, how the ODCE will get involved, how that will play out, and how it can be managed.
Where Sport Ireland has outlined the conditions for the restoration of future funding, that changes that quite considerably.
