I will be brief. Mr. Treacy mentioned that Sport Ireland invited the FAI in twice in 2018 and it turned down the invitation both times. Will he give us some more information on that? For example, what were the dates in 2018 and what reason was given for not coming in? What was the response of Sport Ireland and did it not raise a red flag in itself? There was continuous speculation that the association was in difficulty even at that time. Is there more detail on that? I also have a question for the Minister of State, Deputy Griffin.
