What is in public view is what has gone on and was an open secret for years. It is very unsatisfactory, to put it mildly. We understand that. We know there is a transition period, but there is also a requirement for a solution. Most of us want to contribute to that solution. It is very frustrating that we cannot see a pathway. We cannot wait until the ODCE and the Garda complete their work because the FAI has huge monthly outlays. Will it be able to meet them? Was there any indication that that would be an issue? Are there issues in relation to the staff, beyond the staff involved in promoting football through the local authorities?
