Governance and Funding of Football Association of Ireland: Discussion

I am conscious that something needs to be done. I believe we are heading towards Bank of Ireland putting up a "For Sale" sign on the Aviva stadium. Obviously, no one wants to see that because we are all here to secure Irish football if we can. While I appreciate that the Minister will not answer, I respectfully suggest that he add that option to the list of considerations because it may well be where we end up. As much as it is unpalatable for the State and for all of us, it is potentially a realistic option. It may not be our preference, but we may need to consider it if the IRFU or others do not step up.
