Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Governance and Funding of Football Association of Ireland: Discussion

Mr. John Treacy:

If our funding represents more than 50% of an organisation's turnover, we do an in-depth audit of that organisation. We received the agreement of the FAI to carry out an in-depth audit in March, when this issue came up. Through the prompting of the Chair, we did a forensic audit. We have now changed our terms and conditions, as the Deputy will know. We will carry out in-depth audits of all the organisations in future. That has been agreed with the organisations. We do not need legislation to do this if we agree with the national governing bodies that it is what we are going to do, based on consent. That is what we are doing.
