The Minister has acknowledged, and as acknowledged by the KOSI report, the distribution of the State funds. One of the reasons we have a big interest in the affairs of the FAI is because there are State aid or grants involved. It has been acknowledged that as bad as the figures were, the FAI distributed the money where it was supposed to go, as in what Sport Ireland and the Department signed off on. Now, the Minister is on about bringing in other means of distribution, which will add an astronomical cost because firms such as BDO do not come cheap. When the firm gets money to allocate, will it get the money plus a fee or will the fee be taken out of the grant money? It will cost at least a couple of €100,000 to distribute the money.
