We have made it quite clear that the FAI will not be given funding until its corporate governance is fully compliant and satisfactory and its finances are in order, and not before that. There is nothing more than we want to do than to fund Irish football one way or the other. As my ministerial colleague said, we cannot give the FAI money when we have been advised that it is not fit to receive money. That would be folly.
