Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Governance and Funding of Football Association of Ireland: Discussion

Mr. Kieran Mulvey:

Yes. We are as certain as we can be around that. However, the 2019 funding will now be dealt with by the new audit that we have committed to undertaking. That money goes exclusively to the development of the sport at youth level. A sizeable chunk of that €2.9 million goes to development officers. We believe it is great value and that the taxpayer gets great value from it. The FAI put a considerable amount of money - another €13 million - into that programme.
